I was thinking of buying a server...

...but I don't know much about servers, so I have questions. At some point I will be setting up a web site for my artwork. I thought it might be kinda cool to run my own server.

So what do I need (hardware, software, internet connections, etc.) besides the actual server itself?

What kind of environment should the server be kept in?

Right now I have cable internet with two computers hooked up to it (one is a laptop with a wireless connection). Will that work?

If I wanted to sell server space to other people with web sites, do I need some sort of special license (business or otherwise)?

Or would setting up my own server be more trouble than it's worth?
