Or what I say is unclear?
The main advantage of Linux is its ability to be much more secure than Windows. The fact that Open Source/Free Software is able to be modified by the user is a strong second advantage.
As far as experience and what applications to use, if you're patient, there are some that visit the forum who can help you better than I can. I'm hoping they'll visit and see your post and give you a few pointers. Please be patient.
Some reasons to move to Linux:
Security is higher then Windows
Chance you'll get a virus are slim.
Linux runs on 90% of the world's super computers for a reason, it's fast and flexible while staying secure.
Besides saving money on the OS, Linux has a long list of open source applications that run smoothe and better in some cases then any windows application.
Linux is the ideal OS for the a web server for these reasons. With a web server, nothing is more important then speed and security, and that's what Linux has to offer you.
The Ubuntu Software Center offers a long range of free, amazing software that you can look through for a long list of IDEs and anything else you could want.
Try your first cup of ubuntu with your web server and let me know how it goes
P.S. once you have it installed, to install the GUI just type this in the command line:
sudo apt-get install Ubuntu-Desktop
Once installed, launch it by this
sudo startx
Then it will default to the gui every time after you first launch it. Pretty easy, the reason I recommended the server version is it is more sudo demanding which makes it safer then the desktop version, but both are safe and would do a great job.
