You are right. Many installation questions seem to be posted to php-general, increasing the volume on that already high volume list.

I can install PHP on a Windows Platform with my eyes closed, however I just
switched over to Linux and have no clue what I'm doing.  Most everything I
do comes from reading the Red Hat Linux Bible, anyway, can anyone point me
to a page/tutorial from where I can read instructions on how to install PHP
on Linux, step by step.

If you do an install of "everything" (as I do) then it is already installed. It will be whatever version comes with that version of RedHat. I use RH7.3, this has an Apache 1.3.x. RH 8 I believe has an Apache 2 which is not so keen on working with PHP but I have no experience of RH8.

If you want different versions of Apache/PHP from those supplied then the most common advice given seems to be to compile from source not a RPM, but again, I have no experience of it.
