Hey, just wondering what your thoughts are on hosting your own webserver.

Basically I got a laptop thats rarely used, and I want to proxy to the net via a SMC Barricade router that I plan to order.

Anyway right now, im having hosting difficulties for a gaming clan forum, using PHP4 and MySQL. Just wondering if I can put the laptop to good use, and run it as a webserver?

Ive ran webservers before but only on my main machine, and were not running PHP or MySQL.

Thanks a lot.

Gryph.
