I would give taiga a shot, its quite easy to setup with the config wizard, and youll get some nice things like webdav inventory and avatars. Setting up rex servers wont be the problem, but if you need a public server from your home computer that might be a bit tricky. I think opensim basically wants your machine to have the new ip, so if you are behind a router this is not the case. I think you might be able to do some port forwarding, i have tried this some months ago with Taiga 0.1 or something and didn't get everything going. I think login went to the user server ok but the udp stuff just didnt work, you can forward udp too of course but there was some feature that you need to have on your router to make it work with opensim.
To sum it up: easy to put locals up and play around, harder to publish and more so if you dont know how to access your router and do some magic. Let us know how it goes. P.S. People that know opensim better feel free to correct me, last time I studied this your host machine needed the net ip to itself.
