I guess it depends on what the company is expecting you to do. Most
likely their environment is setup on unix/linux machines so that would
required you to know your way around a linux os. There are also many
linux OS functions that could be used with exec() and other Process
execution functions of php. As far as Apache goes, most serious
websites run on it so it would be worth your while to know at least a
little about it. I suppose another part of it is a bias of the company
towards linux and not windows. PHP, mysql, and apache also grew up and
were developed on unix/linux os platforms.
