you will be using same set of software/tools (for your purpose) so it doesn't really matter what distro you select. you should chose the one you are comfortable with and which you can tune for better security and better performance on the hardware you have > Personally I know zipslack 10 runs fine and Fedora Core 1 brought it > down to a crawl. You can strip down fedora as well to run satisfactorily on a less powered hardware. FC2 can be a good option if you don't want frequent security updates. it works fine on 200 MHz Pentium-class or better processor, you can have a minimal installation of 620MB, and memory required is 64 MB. The advantage of the distro being the 2.6 kernel, which is *supposed to be* faster and implementation of SELinux. FC3 still receives quite a few security updates, and FC4 will demand an administrator on his toes always :) so I won't recommend those. I'm not in position to comment on other distros, I hope some more experienced people sitting out there can help.
