What kind of connection to the outside world do you have?  I'd love to host my own site but I don't know what kind of upstream speed I need.

Not to butt in lol, I just thought I'd play devil's advocate and point out that if you plan on hosting files of any larger size, I wouldn't recommend hosting through your home ISP, having a decent upstream is important for those larger files and even if you're hosting a site with a lot of traffic and queries.  And personally, if it's for a business, I'd stick to having a host that you can call and bug them about fixing it instead of having to deal with the headaches and potential loss of business yourself if you're not 100% sure of what you're doing.

www.diywebserver.com is a great place. This is where I learned all my stuff about linux. There's a couple of guys that hang out at the place that are really smart on linux. Although the place is not so active, it has a ton of great info on setting up stuff.
