Default Worklog: Webserver

Beginning to configure a very basic HTTP webserver that will be expaned in the future. I've used Redhat, Mandrake and Ubuntu distros before but this was about 3 years ago and wasn't particularily serious work.

What I have to work with:
Duron 900MHz
256MB RAM with 16MB shared video
Wireless network

What I need:
Reliable and fairly easy to use distro. This is strictly a webserver so it doesn't have to be home user oriented, just has to be fast on both sides. Secure obviously, and something that can be expanded upon as the server grows. Needs to use HTTP apache initially and that's all, might expand to FTP, email, game servers in the future but that isn't neccesary now.

Leaning towards Ubuntu to start off with and then possibly moving on to Debian once I get both feet in it, I am here to get your input though. The biggest concern is probably getting it working with the wireless.
