I would talk to JohnKlos about setting it up as a web server under BSD UNIX. I've seen his work and he created one for me out of an old Motorola Star Max I found with a G3 card in it many years ago. It was incredibly fast!

Or you can run WebTen by Tenon, which gives you a UNIX Layer running on top of OS8/OS9 with APP (Apache/Perl/PHP). It was one of the first server set ups I created for the (long since defunct) BizInfo Plus Business Search Engine. It was quite fast and managed to survive a massive attack in '05 that took down the ISP NYCWebs (they were 99% Windows servers) when the ILuvYou virus hit them... LOL!

Either way I would recommend a separate drive/RAID for OS and Web Documents. If you can - use SSDs, even if it is just one have it on the Web Docs. You want your I/O to be fast, even with a low to moderate traffic site. You want your Web <-> DataBase ==> User requests to be as fast as you can get it.

Also - MAX THE RAM!
