HostGIS Linux project is a Linux/GNU distribution specifically made for handling GIS information. HostGIS Linux saves hours or days of installing MapServer and its components, and will have you serving GIS maps in minutes.

Here are some key features of "HostGIS Linux":
All the usual amenities of a Linux distribution: compilers, Perl, etc.
Apache webserver, with PHP
MapServer, and MapScript for PHP, Perl, and Python
PDFlib, with support built in to PHP, Perl, Python, and MapServer
PostGIS-enabled Postgres database server
MapServer Web Client (MWC) to display great interactive maps without designing any HTML or JavaScript
Example maps already installed: shapefiles, ECW raster, PostGIS, MyGIS, WMS server and client, and Flash output
Webmin, phpMyAdmin, and phpPgAdmin for easy system administration

Being a Linux, HostGIS Linux is of course completely open source and may be downloaded, modified, and redistributed free of charge.
