I want to set up a http web server @ home to practice. I plan to virtualize a Arch server on my Arch box.
So you want to run a Web server inside a virtual machine?
-container for my servlets : Tomcat ? -secure ftp server : ??? maybe a mail server: ???
Then, what are those things for?
What is the most common and simple way to secure the whole stuff without loosing too much responsiveness?
Virtual machines are very secure, responsive enough for your needs, and fast enough too if you have hardware support. Now this mailing list is not the place for opinion polls. However the wiki will give you all the information you need about Web servers, FTP servers, mail servers, etc. For instance: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Category:Virtualization -- Gaetan
