You can use XAMPP in place of WAMP

For dev on Linux platforms, you can use XAMPP for linux. Installation instructions are available on their website. I have tried dev on Ubuntu. You can benefit from some linux-only PHP functions.

I'd suggest using gPHPEdit as a PHP Editor on Linux. Its built for that purpose afterall.
