Re: Newbie in LAMP
Install AMP on a Windows machine first and tinker with that until you become comfortable with them. Then switch over to Linux

Dude, just install Linux on an older machine, install the AMP stack and start playing. Think of things you want to do with the stack and start Googling those. When things go haywire, ask questions here. We are here to help you.
Re: Newbie in LAMP
As you can see, everybody does it differently. There's no one formula that's sure to work for you. Either Hockey's or Everah's approach will work. What order should you learn them? I'd say you do need to understand HTTP and thus Apache, before you can do much with PHP, and you also need to understand MySQL before you can do much database coding in PHP, and of course you need to understand whatever OS you're using ... so I guess I'd suggest tackling them in this order:
Linux or Windows
Apache
MySQL
PHP
But, like Everah said, just get your feet wet! You can do a little parallel processing.
Online/offline depends entirely on how you learn best. What works for one person doesn't always work for someone else.

I'd start with Uniform Server and try to build something. Move to Linux if and when you feel the need to.

I like how Everah used the word "when".

Re: Newbie in LAMP
Thanks guys, I appreciate that (whilst chuckling to myself as I remember the days of "Oh crap, what just happened?!?!?!").
