I would strongly suggest turnkeylinux as a great preconfigured LAMP server that is based upon the current LTS version of ubuntu. it's easy to set up and use, features webmin for general administration which is pretty nice, and it's super easy to roll out... I often use this for virtual machine or vps web hosting accounts due to it's easy setup and preconfigured LAMP environment... there's not a whole lot to go wrong, and it's really easy to use.
