Any unix system should be able to run PHP at some level. Some installations come with the option to pre-install PHP. Fedora Core, Ubuntu and a few others for example. There are many many many flavors out there, each with their own merits. It's better to find one that you are comfortable with first I think. Afterward you can load PHP if it isn't already.

Many of the Debian and Red Hat/Fedora based variants, among others, have programs that make installing many packages, including PHP very simple. If memory serves, Fedora's newer builds has options to preinstall PHP as does FreeBSD. So long as you don't need to do special builds of them, these packages save a lot of time. If the packages allow configuration of the build they still save a lot of time.
Being able to install inside of 5GB is up to what you select for a distribution and what you select in that distribution to install. There are many flavors that can install into very tight spaces.

You can make it tough, but many basic installations are fairly simple. If you want to get into the nitty gritty, it's challenging, but so can be a Windows installation.
Red Hat 9 is fairly old, but it can be run in either command line or GUI.
I have to ask, why do you capitalize nearly every single word when they don't need it?

I'd suggest Fedora Core for this. I'm currently using Fedora Core 5 which has the option to install all the servers you require upon installation but even if you realise you need another server later you can use a tool called Yum. It's as simple as running 'yum install php' to get the job done.
Fedora has a good IRC channel for help aswell. Any help you need will most oftenly be found on the IRC channels.
Hope that helps, Stephen
