Debian as a Web server



Forgive me if I am posting this to the wrong list but I am not sure
where this kind of a email would be posted to. That said, I am
interested to find out people's perspective on running Debian stable
as a web server in a production environment.

I have noticed that Red Hat, Suse, CentOS, Fedora, etc. appear to
dominate the web server market as the backend powering most production
servers and I'm wondering why Debian doesn't feature?

I own two dedicated web servers and they run Red Hat and CentOS but
what makes them different to Debian? I have done a lot of reading and
research on Debian and my impression of, particularly stable is that
it is one of the most reliable, stable GNU/Linux systems available out
there.

Maybe I'm missing some key issue here (and clearly I must be) but it
makes logical sense to me to power a production server with the most
stable system... surely?

Regards
Justin
