O.P. Huh?  Server Linux Distro
Favourite Linux distro for server? I'm looking for one as I will be replacing one of my old computer with a new one and I'll be using the old one as a Linux server. I'm *not* looking for a GUI (ex. Gnome or KDE).

Note: Flame and I'll send the moderators after you. That is all.

I like Ubuntu's server install, you get no X window system, and no crappy default packages allowing you to configure it how you want. And you can't go wrong with apt-get :P
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.

you can customize Redhat/fedora anyway you like during install,  you can use apt-get in redhat/fedora you can use Yum in redhat/fedora,

There's a site somewhere that allows you to fully customise a distro to your liking, kinda like going to Subway.
All you'll need is:
- Kernel
- Bash
- Apache
- Apache's modules that you want
;)

I've been using SuSE as a server for a long time - I've recently switched it to a GUI and using it as a desktop and server.

Debian-like distro. Like Ubuntu's server install, as Segosa suggested.

Almost all of them have apache, php, mysql. Try Ubuntu's server install, as Segosa suggested, or some other Debian distro.

Even if they don't, then you apt-get them (or manually wget) and rtfm :p
