I have been using VFP and Fox for quite some number of years, try 5-7. In the past I have also written C with embedded SQL, in UNIX Solaris, as an attempt to find other tools to serve my customers, in writing applications and also PERL.
Most recently, I would like to get into the Unix/Linux more seriously and I got a pentium 1 with 2gig and 64MB ram at home that I would like to convert into my UNIX/LINUX server, and keep the other pentium 3, 128MB and 20gig as the windows machine and interconnect both, to start developing web based applications with JavaScript, PHP, PERL? and MySQL on a UNIX/LINUX platform.

Will this be a good strategy to get into also getting to write in JAVA for developing web based applications?
Can I be pointed into the right direction?
What should I use instead if none mentioned is good?
Please help, and as always I appreciate all responses.

Best regards,

Tony Fernandez
