For starters, I was thinking that my dedicated server would run on Ubuntu or CentOS with MySQL and Apache using either Perl or PHP to cobble everything together. I'm thinking my first project will be an affiliate site and trading traffic with others wherein the server will host predominantly text links to other sites and minimally (if not never) house graphics and videos.

What do you guys think? Am I misguided? Is the bandwidth skinny? I am a noob to the business. Thank you for reading this far and your consideration.
