Well, not considering that over 75 percent of Web Servers out there 
today (Professional hosting wise) run on Red Hat, I would recommend 
Fedora Core 4.  I've had trouble with SuSE 9.2 - 9.3 with getting simple 
port forwarding to work with my DSL Modem.  Fedora Core 3 and 4 however, 
works perfectly.  Both FC4 and SuSE 9.3 comes with front end GUI 
interfaces that allow you to configure Apache.  But in all honesty, it 
would be best that you work with the raw Configuration, cause 
eventually, you will have to learn them, to better understand them, and 
tweak your server out.

Weither your behind a DSL Router or not, it might not make much 
diffrence weither you use SuSE, or FC.  It is just my recomendation, or 
two cents. :P
