I use Ubuntu (hardy I think), takes about an hour to get everything
installed (quite poss longer first time though), including security
stuff like deny hosts. Once it's set up, it's very easy to manage, you
just run "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade" every few
weeks to keep security patches in place. Adding a new site is as easy
as creating the directories on the server, a vhost file and running
"sudo a2ensite mydomain.com".

I'd recommend not running a mail server though, instead get a free
google apps account and run all email via google.
