Hey Matt, was setting up a web server on linux easy? I currently have one running on IIS7 (windows) and it's shit so was thinking about switching
I'm a computer science student and have been linux user for years, so it was quite easy for me personally. If you're not used to it it can be a little tougher, but once you are comfortable with using only the command line, it should be quite straightforward.
Also, there's a lot of good and detailed guides out there. Good luck : )
