question about a website idea

[teck9]

hi,

i am thinking of making a small site for people in my area to make profiles, put up pictures, and have some other features. Anyone ever been involved in anything like this and what language do u think would be the best for this? (asp, php, javascript?)

im guessing i would need a database and i would probably need to set up a file server at my home. Since the site will be free for users (i was thinking maybe i could make some change with advertising) i was going to go completely with opensource database and server.


anyone with suggestions or idea please respond


thanks

if you are going for opensource/free:

linux box with Apache webserver
MySQL
PHP

that should be all you need, but then i've never done it so...

Should be all you need for what you want to do.
