Q. I have a lot of Network & Microsoft qualifications.. Am Thinking about picking up a linux qualification also.. But I do not really know which one I should go for or would be the most useful.
A. RedHat / Fedora. Debian is also used, but the real problem is not learning from a particular distro. Having specific knowledge of linux is what you need. Any of the mainstream distros {slackware, debian, etc} will be good for you to learn on.
Some distros have different places different things are stored in, such as conf files being in one directory {and within a differing tree structure} than some other distros. Knowing what you need to edit is the best place to start - knowing where the file is on a particular distro can be learned later.
RedHat Enterprise is something you want to examine, but do so after you familiarise yourself with linux in general. Getting your hands on RHE will probably be a short term trial, {currently a 30-day trial download is available}, outside of an actual production environment.
If you are interested in actual UNIX, the closest free implementation is NetBSD.

How would I set up my own web server with Linux and Apache?
Q. I've seen some guides but most of them seem out of date or cost money. Can anybody either tell me how step by step or provide me with a good up to date guide?
A. You can download a copy of Linux easily enough if you have a DSL connection. If you get an ISO image, you can burn it onto a DVD or CD and then boot your PC up with it and install Linux (it will destroy what you have originally on your hard disk). The size of an ISO image could be between say, 700 MB (CD) and 4.5 GB (DVD). There are plenty of free Linux installs around: Ubuntu, SuSe, RedHat and so on. You can easily install the usual Linux software like Apache, MySQL and PHP to start generating your own software using the install tools available in Linux. To access your new server, you should have a DSL or fixed connection with fixed IP address (request from your telecoms supplier). This is the server side IP address. Your server will be on the LAN side with its own IP address firewalled by your DSL router. Finally, you need a domain name which resolves to your address. Your telecoms supplier can probably help you with that easily enough but avoid a domain name that includes their company name as well - e.g. if your telco is called Big.com, you don't want an address www.MyWebSite.Big.com - you'd be better off with www.MyWebSite.com so you can take your domain to any hosting company without being linked to Big.com forever.
If you've no computer knowledge, you're better off joining say a computer club or buying some books. There are loads of books on LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) out there which are worth reading. Overall, be prepared to put some time and money into your efforts.
If you don't want to be bothered with setting up your own server, just buy hosting services from a provider. Then you do not have to leave your own server PC on all the time.
I run my own Linux server and I use a very out of date PC (at least 4 years old) and it runs everything very nicely and almost straight out of the box. That's one of the beauties of Linux, it can have fewer hardware demands than Windows for basically doing the same thing.

What is the best Linux version to get?
Q. I've been using Windows ever since I was 3, so that's 12 years ago. Now, I'm using Windows Vista, but I would like to give it a try with other OS. So which is the best version of Linux (since it's free) to get?
Between Linpus, Ubuntu, or something else?

A. Lets Give him An Answer,,,
Dear,
I Have Searched The Best Linux Version Too
But, Really I Found that It Depends On What You Want To Do On that Linux
If you Want Just To Try It
I Recommend Ubuntu Or Kubuntu {KDE Desktop, Easier}
Use It Live, Don't Install, Cuz The Loading Is The Same Between The Installed And Live CD
But If You Want A Full Version With Packages, I Recommend Redhat 9 Or Earlier, It's Amazing; If You Installed All It's Packages; you Will Never Look To Any OS Again
More For Mandriva , Its Good Too
But If You Want It As A Server, We Usually Use Redhat Enterprise 10
Linpus Is A Godd Choice Too, Like Ubuntu
And Don't Forget To Check your Hardware Compatabiltiy, Like Sata Drives, AMD Processor, And More Things
>>>Any Payments For Linux Downloads Will Not Be For The Os Itself, but For The Third Party Packages ;)
Hope This Help
