1. Win2K is fine. Here's a HOWTO: http://www.galatea.com/flashguides/apache-tomcat-4-win32.xml
2. My test box is a P2-350 with 256MB of RAM, and it is more than enough for testing. A P2-233 or higher with 128MB RAM is plenty for Linux (if you are familiar with Linux) and can handle Apache, Tomcat, and something like MySQL just fine. Machines like that are typically either very cheap or free, as well, if you know where to look. If you must use Windows, you might need more robust features, but probably nothing major. With Dell selling P4-2.0GHz with 128/256 and a 30GB drive for $399, hardware requirements are both easy and cheap problems to solve. 3. Have fun, experiment, read this list, help out with the project.
