Fully configuring my first Linux server

I want to setup my first Linux server to play with at home.

Now what I want to know is where to start?

I will be running this off my LAN to play with.

I will be wanting to go Redhat 7.1/7.2

What should I install?

Do any of the componants like Apache/MySQL/PHP/BIND come bundled in the install?

Is it going to be easy enough to plug it straight into the 3 PC Windows LAN and begin communicating with it?

I have a couple of Noob guides in my favourites I will read through though I just want to get the jest of what I need to install.

Should I install any of the GUI interfaces like KDE/GNOME?

Thanks for the help
