Web Server Questions

Hey, I'm thinking about moving from my current server to SliceHost... I like the idea of being able to do whatever I want, without having to contact support if some free script doesn't work because of their permissions or something stupid...

Now the issues and questions:
I haven't started a server from scratch before... I don't think I fully understand what I'm getting in to.

Don't get me wrong, I'm quite familiar with servers, and computers in general... and I've played around with shell a bit.

But I need to know what the best OS to choose would be, as well as how to set up the http and ftp and lighty or at least the best programs to choose and use. I can figure out the installation process I'm sure.

Domain management software...

What does one need at a minimum to have a decent server setup?

Thanks in advance for any responses,
Mark
