Thats right, you really only want root to start it, otherwise it can't listen on port 80! Just start it from once of your startup scripts (don't know exactly where in Mandrake, something in /etc/rc*) and leave it running. That way it comes up at boot time, and shuts down when you shut your PC down.
I'd plum for rc.local myself. Just add a line that says exactly what you type on the command line to start it.
If you are going to install PHP then you can do this after Apache no problem. But you'll want to install PostgreSQL before PHP otherwise your won't be able to install support for it. You might also want to look into MySQL - http://www.mysql.com - as an alternative database.
As for installing the above, get them downloaded and read the install details that comes with them. I've installed them both a few times and its all pretty straight forward.
