Preferred Linux Flavor for Web Server?

[Jeremy Fowler]

Hardened has had 2.6 support for quite some time (as you can see from
the profile path). However, they still don't currently support GCC 4.1.
Something to do about the Stack Smashing Protector (SSP) being
completely redesigned. They're working on it, but hardened development
is quite slow.

I hear it doesn't work with 2.6 or some other useful stuff, so I don't
use it.
