Which (RH or MDK) for bare http server?

Looking for any info regarding the merits of using one over the other -
Red Hat 7.1 or Mandrake 7.2 - for a system that will be used as a bare
HTTP: server.

I have an old P75 that I plan to use, but don't intend to use X on it at
all (since the mouse port is trash and the ISA slots are only good for
destroying ISA cards).  I intend to install (text mode) and then remove
keyboard & monitor, and do all config through Webmin or Telnet.

Will run:
Apache
NFS
Telnet server
(maybe) FTP server
(maybe) Interchange (RH's "shopping cart/catalog" pkg, I know it works
on MDK, assume it works on RH ;) )

I don't intend to run any email server, nor SAMBA, CUPS, etc. All my web
page development will be done elsewhere, and just dropped here for
serving.

Thanks for your opinions, and let the flames begin!

Chris.
