Hi John,
I am a beginner too but had very little problem getting Apache up and
running under Debian.
Using bigpond cable I do not have a fixed IP but easily got around this by
going to www.noip.com , you can register your own sub-domain name from
those they provide and download their "IP update Client" keeps a redirection
to your system's IP address, up to date.
Good luck
Mark

Subject: [SLUG] A beginner's server???
Is there such a thing as a simple server setup to handle a simple static
website that a beginner can install and run from home??
John.
