How about your thoughts of my Soyo box being the main Linux system? Back in 2006, I developed our church website using Joomla on BlueHost. Since moving from Quincy late that year, my web admin duties eluded me to the secretary who went to godaddy since she couldn't understand the inner workings of Joomla.
Now that I'm on 4mb dsl and wanting to peek into Apache, I've found quite a few other options that help on the LAMP side.

The basis of my desire for apache is for the virtual host option of creating another website within apache. I want to create two websites. One for family and friends to look at for updates, the other for my plan to create my own computer consulting business here in Central Missouri.
Sooo many choices.
