I don't think such a "beast" exists :) What would probably make sense is to use a distro that: - you are comfortable with - that is easy to keep up to date - that has a reasonable release cycle Something like RHE or one of the clones (Centos for example) would make sense, or maybe Debian. Avoid Fedora - it's release cycle is far too short for a server OS Avoid distros with odd notions about package management and updates - servers should be "up" all the time (or as close to it as possible), so you really do not want to have to recompile half the OS just to update one or two minor elements Just my two cents ...
