Setting up a Linux server

The IBM T21 Thinkpad has decided to power-up again. It has Ubuntu Linux 5.10 on it; later versions will not install. I need a configuration with Apache and PHP and that means a later version of Linux. I tried Puppy Linux 4.1.1 which runs (nicely too) but it seems geared for the desktop and not a server. (There's no package to install Apache, much less PHP.)

My next choice is Debian 5. It seems to be installing. (Puppy Linux ran live off the CD-ROM; Debian wants to live on the hard drive.)
