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.

My company is switching to LAMP is there a good place to start learning
Linux. I already program in SQL server, coldfusion, asp, and java, so I
think all but Linux should be easy for me to pick up. I just have not used
linux and need to understand how all of these work together. Been a
Microsoft person since DOS 3.1.
My next question is should I buy Redhat or start with Fedora. I am
setting up a server to practice on.
Thanks,
