If you want to try it out before you actually get into it because its a lot of work running it and trying to keep it secure and what have you, so to run a trail i suggest you google running a WAMP on your windows machine. You can run Apache, MySQL & PHP on a Windows machine for testing purposes by using WAMP and installing it. Give it a try, if you like it and can actually set it up and use it then try to set it up with a Linux machine. But remember you are going to have to actually use Linux to have a server on it. lol
