New to LAMP

[Aly S.P Dharshi]

I guess that I would suggest CentOS which is a Redhat clone, this will 
allow you to practice and learn on a system which is very close to what 
you would deploy in production which hopefully would be a RedHat 
Enterprise OS for obvious reasons.

I would suggest getting a book to learn about Linux and do plenty of 
playing around and crashing stuff as that would teach what to do and what 
not to do. A book will give you some formal guidence in how to work with 
the OS.

I would suggest PostgreSQL over MySQL for "LAMP" projects, its a way more 
mature database then MySQL. And its what RedHat will support you on 
readily. Other's may have varying opinions on this.

Cheers,

Aly.
