Give out some more information on this and you might be able to get a general idea of what you server requirements are.

I'm running TGP's, Blogs, and always adding other stuff... I do have some videos through flash, and I'm adding a tubesite soon. I know what I want, generally, but I don't know how to set up the DNS servers for my domains, or a control panel to handle stuff like that.
I would use
lighttpd (instead of apache)
mysql
php5
phpMyAdmin
then something like cPanel, or is that not necessary? and I'm not paying 425/yr for that either... so I'll need something else if I do need it lol.
and what distro of linux would you suggest? Slicehost Offers:
gentoo
debian
centOS
ubuntu
Dreamhost has just been more problems than it's worth lately.
For the same price, I can get more memory and actually be able to do what i need to do on slicehost.
