I've not yet seen anything in Debian/Ubuntu to make setting up X as nice 
as Redhat's system-config-display, but with that you can easily just 
select a generic CRT/LCD with the desired resolution (one that the 
monitor is capable of).  It also has a huge list of monitors, which even 
had my old Nokia X774 listed...

PHP would need mod_php installed, the name of the packaged depends on 
the distro your using of coarse, but I don't recall any other than maybe 
gentoo that don't enable it as soon as you install mod_php.  (and after 
an apache restart) 

Well... looks like I'm wrong, its Debian that doesn't seem to enable it 
by default, found this how-to for Debian/Ubuntu on setting up a LAMP 
server with PHP4.
