You most probably want a LAMP setup. This includes Linux (the operating system), Apache (the web server), MySql (the database), and PHP (the code language).

You can install all of these on a Linux system, and many of them come with them installed. Some common forms of Linux used for web server can be found on www.distrowatch.com.

Any form of Linux can run a webserver. I reccomend trying Ubuntu or Fedora because they are easier to learn and work entirely in a graphical environment for a newbie.

Thanks... But can you tell me more in detail about which LAMP is good to start ?

Yes this topic could be resourceful for me as well. I would also like to know how to run a Linux Webserver. Also can it comply with your Windows Webserver with Apache, PHP, and MySQL? Because that is what I am running right now.

With Samba, it should be able to network your servers together.
