Need help with apache and hosting...

As far as serving platforms go, I think you would be better off with FBSD. However, if you intend to build a graphics environment -- which, as I have stated, is NOT wise -- you might be better off with a Linux distro. Getting X to come up in FBSD is more challenging -- not impossible, just more difficult. It's really a serving platform, and that is where it shines. Yes, it can be done; I use FBSD for all my desktop *nix systems, including the one I am on presently.
Let me state emphatically once again, one should NEVER use X11 on a server that will be internet accessible.

We use SLES (which is the enterprise version of SuSe, and we have also tested/used RHES (the Red Hat enterprise edition). Both of which are, as reported by the respective groups, more stable than their free siblings. That makes sense; enterprise level kernels can be, but with tighter restrictions on hardware. I have found in personal observation, better IP stack handling and system i/o utilizing FBSD as the serving platform vs. these so-called 'Enterprise level' OS's.

Getting components installed is as easy as using the ports collection.

Whatever you choose, best of luck to you.

Felixstowe? That's a strange coincidence.
