Phil, the questions you're asking and the way that you are asking them 
just screams "Getting Hacked in 10 Easy Steps," the latest title from 
APress.

What might be useful is to lay out a plan for what you want to accomplish 
with your server.  Follow that up with a list of options for accomplishing 
that.  Between your goals and your plan for accomplishing it there are 
going to be some big gaps.  We can help you fill those gaps in.

On a related note, I wonder if there might be some community interest in 
a workshop for people wanting to set up their own servers.  There's enough 
knowledge in the group that we could handle half a dozen to a dozen 
participants.  Find somebody who will let us have some classroom space for 
a Saturday, do an hour or two of classroom, then break down into small 
groups to work with individual goals.

We could probably even send folks home with a FreeBSD or Linux disc.

If there's interest in doing this, I can start looking for venues around 
Lansing.
