If you're going to say Linux, please, which Linux OS, there are > so many. i would prefer Gentoo Linux ( http://gentoo.org/ ) because it is very up to date. There are install scripts (ebuilds) for PHP until 5.0.3 and the installation makes no problems at all. If you are not much into Linux i would prefer Fedora Core Linux ( http://fedora.redhat.com/ ), the problem is, that you must compile much software by hand if you want very new versions and Fedory is not that freaky then Gentoo. By the way Fedory is very easy to install and it runs very very stable. If you need a hardcore develpment plattform read the docs on the Gentoo website and you are on the right way. Another OS which is very easy to install is FreeBSD. I know a hoster which runs this system on nearly every Mashine. I don't know much about FreeBSD but i have installed some day in the past and it wasn't much painfull. Hope this helps...
