I have Ubuntu Kubuntu installed on my system, and I use Apache. It works very nicely and requires very little background knowledge. Of course you need SOME knowledge of networking (ports, IP, etc.) but you don%26#039;t need an extensive knowledge.

Yes, check out apache.

I%26#039;m not familiar with ubuntu but Fedora comes bundled with Apache, FTP, and other internet tools/servers.

Other Replys:Install Apache, maybe PHP depending on what you want to do, buy a domain, redirect the domain to your static IP address, if you have one. Write your pages, put them in /var/www/html, edit your firewall rules to allow incoming connections on port 80, and voila!
