The Linux kernel which forms the base of Linux started to be developed in 1991
It wasn't until late 1993 when Slackware first appeared that it was in any kind of usable form though - unless you were an uber geek that is. Red Hat Linux 1 appeared in mid 1994 and Debian 1 was released a year later
The first Ubuntu (a clone of Debian) didn't get released till 2004
Linux was created in 1991 by Linus Torvalds, then a 21-year-old college student in Helsinki.
How much old do you mean by old? Well, before Gnome and KDE, there was the Command Line Interface (CLI). MCC Interim Linux was the first linux distribution, released in February 1992 used the CLI.

PHP with Linux is completely different, since everything is free (Linux, Apache, Mysql, FileZila, PHP, etc.). Linux is also way more stable for production use, since it's regularly updated (at least once a months, for certain distribution). Remember, the Internet runs on Linux, mostly CentOS and RedHat.However, windows is way more compatible with everyday applications. The best would be to have a development computer running Linux (buy an old, use computer, install Linux on it), and have an everyday Windows computer.
