I have never hosted a webserver or mail server (except for something called mdaemon in Windows). Assuming I am using Windows or Linux on my server, I want to know the following:

1.If I have a webserver software like Apache (or anything else), and a good hardware server with broadband, is there anything else I need to be able to host my website?
2.Can Apache also serve mail? If not, is there a good open source program I can use?
3.What software would I need to host a forum like this one in Windows or Linux? Any additional requirements?

I'm assuming you know the potential issues of hosting on a dynamic IP address, especially one designed (and regulated) to be used only for personal web browsing use.

Apache should do you well. Just get LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python).

Judging by the address of this post, I think PHP might do the trick for your fourm.
