I currently have Windows XP, but I am thinking of changing my operating
system to linux because all i want to do is web development with PHP, MySQL
and Apache. Does anybody recommend the best linux version for web
developement?
Also, what is the best way to transfere the files that I want to keep from
windows XP onto Linux?
I know that there is the partishioning option of having both Linux and
Windows on my computer, but I heard that, that is not the best way to go.
Comments anybody?

Some prefer Mandrake 10, some prefer Red Hat 9 and others prefer Fedora.
Personally I use Mandrake 9.2

I have no problems with the partishioning, because I have the os's on
separated HD's.

You're forgetting Gentoo ^-^ (Although it's definitely not for n00bs.. but
then again, neither is Slack.)

i just can never be bothered with the install time (and I see no point in
installing from base tarballs).

There are quite a few reasons to go with a source-based distro (i.e. gentoo)
as opposed to a package-based distro (redhat, fedora, mandrake etc). With
something like Gentoo, everything is compiled to your specific optimization
settings... e.g. everything on my laptop is compiled
with -march=pentium4, -funroll-loops -O3 -mfpmath etc... all this makes for
a much faster system as opposed to something running code not optimized for
any particular architecture (e.g. generic x86 compilation).

Any benchmarks I've seen, or seen reported, show no increase with the
optimizations. In short, the effort isn't worth the return, unless one is doing
it for a "learning" experience. I've even heard some kernel experts saying the
optimizations often slow a system down.

It is perfectly feasible to develop using Windows XP but to deploy using

Rationale to use Linux

- I can't afford paying for $199 for the license of an OS that's
