(a) If it's a server, you shouldn't have a graphic desktop installed.
(b) get a static IP address
(c) depending on what the application(s) will be, installing LAMP for
web service is all you really need, although I would configure iptables.

If you want to also have dns and mail, the howtoforge article for Dapper
is a good guideline, but do read up on each of the components, as
knowing the mechanics of configuring a base server is really only the
beginning of being able to administer one.

I've followed both the Dapper and the ISP Server guides.  They both
worked fine, except that I didn't like ISPConfig, and it was hell
getting it cleaned up.
