So in my infinite free time, I thought it might be fun to get a super cheap box and do a little home hosting, which is to say that I've grown weary of hosting a blog on my laptop.
...because that's just silly. But fun!
So! I can assemble all the stuff I need hardware-wise (box is actually being donated by a hostee), but I'm not sure what sort of functionality I need software-wise. I was thinking maybe Ubuntu 10.10 desktop would probably be just fine for a hobby box like this, but would there be anything gained at all from going for the 10.04 LTS server release (or is that super-overkill)?
(Also, any suggestions you guys have on services I'll be need to be setting up would be totally welcome.)
