setting up a linux web server
Hi
I am currenty building a test web server using ubuntu server v10.04.01 the latest downloaded it today from their website for a community interest company (cic) to test web designs already on a hosting account as we will do hosting ourselves for the community projects. So my questions are:
1 the router has no dmz to put the linux server into whats the best way instead of port forwarding, if I have to port forward what ports are needed
2 the linux server will have a dedicated ip address so how does the host header work so the hosted accounts work from the same ip address under dns
3 I am looking for a free c-panel/whm control panel so we tell teach webhosting as well as web design as the cic is basically a charity so we cant go down the cpanel route as the cost is too much. I am currently looking at ebox/ventyal as thats ubuntu's replacement for webmin. Should i look for something else ?

its not ebox anymore its http://www.zentyal.com/
anyway webmin/ebox/zentyal ar like whm imho whats like cpanel then as my boss is not too linux savy and thats why I was using a whm/cpanel type app as most hosting accounts use cpanel/whm to make it easier as in the future we will be teaching kids how to setup hosting for the web designs their working on so they host their own design
