To install apache and php you can probably just do 'apt-get install mod_php' and that will download and install all you need. It's generally usable right after that, you just need to do a 'service httpd start' to start apache the first time. You'll need to do those as root.
To set up an ftp server it's pretty similar. Find one you like, proftpd is supposed to be a good one, apt-get install the rpm and start it up with service. For both of those you probably want to do a bit of tweaking with the config files before you give the whole internet access to them, but at least getting started is easy. If you need to manually get an IP, I find the easiest is to use the service command again. Do a 'service network restart'.

I tried booting from rh9 cdrom #1 to change the boot loader config, but didn't install anything new so it said that it didn't change my boot loader because the kernel did not change. How can I change the boot loader settings without changing kernels? Can I run a command from linux or do I have to boot from the cd? I want to set up my computer to be a http server with apache and so I can learn more about that and also teach myself php. Could anyone give me a pointer on where to go (web docs) where it has instructions for beginners that don't need anything fancy? How can I set it up to be a ftp server? I'm concerned that since my roomate's winxp box serves a cable modem internet connection to the apt that outside people might not be able to get a connection through his (Norton) firewall. Is that an issue or how does that work? Is there a command to ask the dhcp server for a new ip address? How can I find out my computer's ip address. If I'm not plugged into the network at bootup it says that init of eth0 failed. What command can I used to initialize it and get an ip address for internet connections or do I have to reboot?
