I've got apache running on 80 which is what I use on the home network.

When I need to embed a web server in an application (which beats writing
a GUI), I usually use tclhttpd - it also runs as a standalone web
server. Note that even though its light weight, the learning curve may
be a bit steep - unless you know TCL.
I currently have two RH 7.2 systems that boot into a GUI. Once I get
throught the initial install, I boot CLI, tweak my settings, change
inittab to boot GUI and I have no problems.
The interesting thing is that inittab *is* tweaked. Everything seems
to be as it should for booting right into

Unless things have changed a lot from 7.0 (or I am mistaken - I haven't messed
with it for a long time) the entry:
id:5:initdefault:
is what you need. Yours probably says:
