My company is currently looking to purchase a Linux server for a web
app that comes with the specs listed at end

My questions are:

Does this sound reasonable for a LAMP stack w/ additional resources
used for a backend app?

Is Fedora a descent distro?  I'm only familiar w/ slack for toying
around at home.  Unfortunately I'm the guru here, which says naught
for the company.  Which leads me to the next question...

Any recommendations for support on this stuff?  We're located on the
west valley, 59th & Bell.

Here are the specs:

Intel Xeon 1.6 GHz with 2 Gb. (Minimum) 4 Gb. (Recommended) Memory
