If you're a new person, you may want to start with a preconfigured server. If you're learning, then your server will most certainly have very small requirements.

I have a Turnkey virtual appliance setup to run a web server, including Ubuntu, MySQL, Apache, etc. Run it under VirtualBox and learn what all the components do before trying to create your own.

Do it with opensuse and ispconfig. Easy to install and manage. But most important, you will find tons of support and related info. Hope helps

Alternatively, you can use Debian and Webmin. Anything that can run Windows can run Debian and Webmin.
