I am starting a new project to make a web server. I am just starting my research, so forgive me if I seem novice - I am.
I would like to make a web server for a wordpress website. My options for the host machine are:
Dual 2.0 G5 Xserve running 10.5.8
Dual 2.0 G5 PowerMac running 10.5.8
Mac Mini G4 running 10.5.8 or 10.4.11
Mac Mini Intel Core Solo running 10.5.8 or 10.6.8
I can change the OS to be a OSX server edition if there is a reason, but from what I have read there is really no reason for this application. The machine will be in an office rack, so noise and power consumption are not really an issue (though, power consumption is worth thinking of).
I am comfortable working on any of these, so parts and troubleshooting are not really a concern. Eventually it may be used as a mail server too, but first I want to get the website done and stable.
