lighttpd or apache

[VistaBoy]

Well i am still learning linux just got my new localhost box set up with linux (centos) now i need a httpd that is easy to install and use (meaning easy to put php and that to)

So should install lighttpd or apache?

apache has more tutorials, so id go with that so if you ever get stuck you can get a solution faster.
