If your Mac is facing the internet and you're running a web server, then the operating system on the Mac needs to be secure and regularly updated.
for exemple... the old AUX is fast enougth? or better to go to openbsd? And debian68k?
A/UX is probably fast enough but do you want to expose a computer to the world that has not had the OS updated for six or seven years? NetBSD is nice in my experience (for more info on BSD see http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/mac68k/) and has a long history at running well on Macs. The SE/30 is fully supported by NetBSD and by the various 68K Linux flavours. If you check out the Low End Mac *nix list, you should get a balanced opinion of the differences.
