Coming from windows, and wanting to set-up apache, which linux distro is the easiest to learn?

Also, my machine is a 1.5ghz single core or so.
 
Ubuntu is probably easiest. If nothing else, the huge user base gives you a lot of support if you run into problems.
 
You could run Apache on Windows, but Ubuntu will be the easiest transition. I 10.04 on a single core AMD 3200+ with no issues.
 
Apache is Apache and it's packaged for virtually every distro out there. It really depends on how deeply you want to dive in right off the bat. An Ubuntu desktop will be simple to install but will be really huge compared to just what you need for Apache. If you want a leaner, more direct install then go for either the Ubuntu alternate install disc and just do a LAMP install or go for Debian. Those will get you a very small installation footprint, but you won't have X by default so you'll have to learn how to do things from the cli.
 
Debian ftw, if you want to learn to use Linux do what i did install it, remove the GUI and force yourself to figure it out, you wont turn back.
