The best surely won't be the best. It's like your high performance car. The best today still makes demands on the driver. Same for servers.
I just got a new PC and I want to re-purpose the old one as an internet server connected to the WWW. This will mostly be just an experiment and a learning situation for me. I will only want to host one website on it.
What is the best way for me to learn about this and go about it? Is Apache the best/easiest to learn?
If you were me, what would you do?
