Hey guys, I posted this in site management, but I'm thinking I'll get more feedback here.
What is most important (hardware) when specing out a webserver?

It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to Basic; as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.

My guess would be RAM, but I've not ever had a server undergoing a heavy load. Seems like it'd have more of a dependence on disk I/O than on processor time though...

It's going to be Windows Vista :-o
I'm no where near advanced in any *nix to run a webserver off it.
And the college is purchasing the equipment, and said eventually it would be migrated to vista, so we may as well get it on there. =/

here is a system i customized... could you put your thoughts in?
I had the option of Fedora and SuSE.
I figure if we're going to use apache anyways, the OS isn't really a big deal.
Barebones

i suppose so
i would use fedora instead though. SuSEs updater is kinda broken and its a memory hog
Even better, use CentOS (free version of Red Hat Enterprise)
