Anything. As long as the machine boots and connects to the internet, it
can run as a web server. Back in the day I had a laptop with a missing
screen running as a web server.<br>
<br>
for a school project, subversion will probably be overkill. I'd just
keep it simple, but it is your project.<br>
<br>
as for development software. not a clue, I do all my coding in vim.
Though there are lots of frameworks out there that you can use which
might help get the core of the site down.<br>
just google for "LAMP", as thats your basic web-server core software
right there.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">For a computer science
class I need to design a website. This
will be a semester long project. We have an idea for our website but we
need to
figure out the tools we need for design and the actual hardware. About
the
hardware: I am planning to purchase a desktop computer. I will buy
something
with an nvidia graphics card because I have to run some graphics and
animation
applications for another class.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I do not know exactly all
the hardware I need to create a
server. The idea is that the server host the website and that I am able
to then
access with my laptop as a client. When finished, anyone should be able
to
access the website via the internet. What I am wondering is whether I
can buy
say an HP desktop or some other brand and set up the desktop to boot
under
Windows or Kubuntu? Of course, the new machines come with uck, <st1:place
w:st="on">Vista</st1:place>, and I do need Windows for some other
software I
use for school. We are planning to use the Kubuntu as the network
server. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Do I need any special
network cards, wireless? What
hardware will I need? We would also like to have our code on the
server, so
that team members can use subversion to check it in and out. We’ll also
have to research what software we need to create a website. Will
probably need
to use some Web 2.0 technology.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Also I will have 3 other
classes where I will need to
develop and host my own website in the coming semesters.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Thanks for your advice.
Please send any questions also. As
you can tell, we are all ignorant of web design. This is for a software
engineering class and web design is taught no where in our curriculum.
We have
to learn quickly and on the fly.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
