hey, i used to be a beginner too, welcome!  yup, linux will run apache 
software, which is a webserver, you can get the software from 
http://www.apache.org, click the link to the http server.  i don't know 
about differences from std/professional versions of red hat; i'm sure 
that either will be more than sufficient for what you might want to do. 
  and it's easy to have a dual boot machine, i have set that up many 
times  and in fact, you're going about it the right way by having a 
separate hard drive dedicated to linux -> it is a much simpler 
configuration and install that way.
