, and Linux distributions are SOs made by joining a Linux kernel and a bunch of applications. For example, Fedora tries to include the newest packages, while Debian goes for stability, and Mint focus on beauty and ease of use.

It's the Linux kernel who is known for being good at serving, not a specific distribution. You should go for a more stable distribution though, like Debian or CentOS. Before hosting servers on Linux, hack your way trough 2 or 3 distributions so you can see what's better to you.
