Ideal Server Environment
Hi guyz,
I am trying to setup a LIVE environment for my project that uses Apache
Solr along with PHP/MySQL...
The indexing is of heavy data (about many GBs)..
Please can someone recommend the best server for this?
Thanks a lot.

You are asking for short answers to complex questions.
There is nothing inherent in Solr that favours one Linux installation
over another. CentOS is aimed at the enterprise, so I _guess_ that it
will be preferable if you have a sysadmin to handle the underlying
system for you. If you are to manage it yourself, I would recommend
Ubuntu as it is aimed at end-users.

ok thanks for the reply....
Also, could you tell me if CentOS or Ubuntu will be better?

Your question is much too generic to go into specific hardware. Read
https://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/ImproveIndexingSpeed
https://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/ImproveSearchingSpeed
https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrPerformanceProblems
then build a test instance, measure and scale from there.

Also, I wonder if Solr will require High processor? High Memory or High
Storage?
1) For Indexing
2) For querying
