is it terribly hard to set up a server (stick it in the basement you know), and hook other computers to it? i'm thinking it would involve a minimal install, with the server options from the install. Then i would have to modify some files like /etc/hosts.allow, deny, an maybe the firewall (what ports to open up?), and user permissions?

i'm thinking the firewall would be done with iptables, and i could set group permissions to something like "users" or something. my goal is to set up a computer that i can put httpd on, and have it set up so i can put all my files on it without worrying about losing them if i decide to format my upstairs computer!
