Welcome to the forum. There are a number of Linux distros availible and they all have their share or gunho followers as well as haters.. You will have to try some out to see if they work for your needs.. Debian and Slackware from what I have heard are more difficult to learn but are decent for servers.
As far as getting your feet wet with Apache, and PHP.. I would recommend getting a book from the SAM's Learn in 24 hours/7 days series (will get you the very basic stuff).
