I am looking to setup a home server primarily development and testing, but I will also be hosting my domain (which contains extensive photo galleries) on it.
I'll be using PHP with MySQL and understand that this is fairly easy to get up and going with the ubuntu distro.
I am wondering what the distinction is between Ubuntu and Kubuntu in terms of suitability for this hosting role? Obliviously I want to minimize the server overhead with the desktop environment, but would still like to have the GUI.
Utilmately I want to run the machine headless (no monitor, or keyboard) and just connect to it via VNC from a windows box on the same LAN.
Hardware is x86 Intel PIII 1Ghz 512RAM.
All suggestions/comments appreciated.
