Hmm... Interesting.

Just a couple of days back I was wondering if I can my web apps from home with a P3 and a P4. The max internet speed in my city is 2 Mbps. Will it be enough if I have two 2 Mbps connections and bridge them? Is it enough to run a Twitter clone for my classmates? (and also my news app)

But the security is what bothers me. I plan to use linux and I am using Slackware on my desktop since a month (I refer the docs a dozen times a day). Is very high knowledge of the linux internals necessary to run a web server?
