3. Is a 400 P2 128 megs of ram good enough for a lightly traveled web site. Will not run a GUI to conserve resources. Is this enough horse power to MySQL/PHP. I might though togather a VERY basic dynamic web site just to tinker and learn PHP(if I can find time).
For a simple personal website, it's probably sufficient.
4. Any issues with doing such a thing with Road Runner.
Only the possibility that they might block port 80, now or in the future. I've heard different stories from people about what ports they block.. in my own case, I've never been able to get port 22 traffic to my home machine, and assume they are blocking that. But port 80 works fine. <shrug> YMMV.
5. What dynamic DNS service to you all use or is buying a static IP address cheaper?
I think with RR, you can only get a static IP if you get "business class" service, which is pricey. I bought a domain at GoDaddy ($6.95 or so, for a .us) and use zoneedit (free) to handle the dynamic DNS.
6. What distro of linux would you use for a project of this nature?
You'll get every answer under the sun to this question, but I'd go with CentOS, personally. No particular reason, though, other than familiarity. For what it sounds like
you're trying to do, probably almost any distro would be fine.
