    Neha - Ubuntu installation is damn easy. Just pop in Ubuntu DVD in your drive and boot from it. Use the GUI installer - everything is pretty straightforward.

    I recommend freeing some space before you go with the install. You can do that (if required at all) by using VISTA's disk manager.

    PHP & APACHE work great on UBUNTU. Also, there are plenty of tutorials to get you started with Ubuntu. If you face any problem, do let us know. We'll be happy to help you.

    Adding to Biggie's point, u can download ISO from net ( its free and legal) and then write upon a CD. A newer version of Ubuntu has come in 9.4 and its very fast i heard ! and if you feel ISO imaging stuff and all is crap, you can always online a installation CD as well. it takes time though!

    Ubuntu is very easy to install and use.The steps are very easy and complete installation is GUI based.Only problem you may face is during partitioning.For first time i would suggest you to use only basic types of partitions.

    When you see the screen which asks for selecting partitioning method,select 'manual' from that.
    Then select filesystem as ext3 or ext4 and mount point as / .I recommend to give at least 10GB to this partition.
    Then you can give one partition for /home. /home is used for storing user files(similar to 'Documents and Settings' in windows).
    You should give some space for swap.Select swap partition and give memory space around 2 times the memory of your RAM.
    This is how you are done with partitioning.

    For using php you need to install lamp stack (Linux-Apache-PHP-Mysql).
    You can install it on ubuntu using these commands:
    1.sudo apt-get install apache2
    2.sudo apt-get install mysql-server
    3.sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5

    Now restart apache servvice using command:
    sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

    Hope this will help you.

    You can use these 2 commands :
    sudo apt-get remove package_name
    OR
    sudo apt-get autoremove package_name

    The difference is, in first only the specified package is removed and in second all dependencies are also removed.
