I'm looking to install linux on an intel 800mhz p2, 256 mb ram,20G HD. I'm not looking for a fancy desktop or games. All I'm interested in is a locked down secure webserver with at least mysql apache and php (lamp as I've heard it called).
Aside from being able to run on my current hardware my major concern is being hacked and having to reformat my box every two weeks. I plan on a dedicated webserver running one web page which total files will be around 5gb.
Any suggestions?

Well, i've heard that oracle has made a new distro called "unbreakable linux" -beats me! but u can find out whether it is breakable or not.
I use Ubuntu ,and am fairly happy with it.All LAMP modules work great.
If you are not familiar with the debian way(apt-get,which is by far the easiest);you could settle for fedora core or SuSe
