Help with setup of Linux Server

I would like to setup a web/mail server using Linux. I'm used to Windows and would like to use a Distro and web/mail server thats easy to setup and Admin.
What can you guys/gals recommend? Any web/mail server with a easy to use GUI or a GUI add-on say for Apache and a mail server ? 🙂

Thanks,
 
For distro I personally like Slackware but I cannot really make this recommondation. I am sure others have much to say about this.

For web apache is probably the most popular, for mail sendmail is also widely used.
 
You need a GUI for a server? Now you sound like my boss 😛 You really don't need a GUI because all of the server software you're going to need emphasises CLI more than anything. I personally have never seen a GUI for web or mail servers. Just get in there and vi httpd.conf!
 
vi? vim for me...

Yeah, about the easiest thing to start with is probably SuSE, Mandrake, or Red Hat, though, I'm partial to the first, any of these should do fine.

A default install will include a GUI, if that's what you want, but It's likely that you'd be using a text editor to edit the config files anyway.

I just did a quick search on google, and it yields this: http://gui.apache.org/
