sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server
mysql-client php5-mysql

that will install all you need to get things to work. There are quite
many "HOWTOs" for ubuntu, some worse than others, google will find them
for you.

You may need to configure things to your taste.

I do recommend usage of git for version control of your code.

To be sure things works in your development environment and live
environment is to have as similar setup and use the same extensions and
settings.

Who cares about MSIE, things do not work the same way between minor
version changes and badly documented how they work. Just use some
framework like twitters bootstrap and then keep it simple, if it work
with MSIE then it works with MSIE, if it don't let the end user pick a
better browser.
