I have Ubuntu Kubuntu installed on my system, and I use Apache. It works very nicely and requires very little background knowledge. Of course you need SOME knowledge of networking (ports, IP, etc.) but you don't need an extensive knowledge.
Reply:Install Apache, maybe PHP depending on what you want to do, buy a domain, redirect the domain to your static IP address, if you have one. Write your pages, put them in /var/www/html, edit your firewall rules to allow incoming connections on port 80, and voila!
Reply:Yes, check out apache.

I'm not familiar with ubuntu but Fedora comes bundled with Apache, FTP, and other internet tools/servers.
