Execute this command:

# sudo -s

This will make you root (if your user account is in the wheel group/sudoers file) and you will be able to do whatever you like. However, once you are root you may want to add your username to the http/apache group or whoever owns var/www.

Not at all. There are a lot of commands in the console and it would be impossible for anyone to immediately know them all.

Yes although you will need to modify the configuration file to use your Linux MySQL username and password.

yeah that would be easy.
if things worked well like this for a while , i may use linux for developing php all the time, it saves alot of time and effort unlike windows
-when i bench marked the same php script on windows and ubuntu, guess who won?
