I am new to linux and I want to set up Linux to serve the internet to my new gateway laptop running xp, and serve my web page and email. For now, I just want to concentrate on what hardware I need. Here is a list of what I have and what I think I need. Could someone help me confirm that this list is complete?

List of what I have
1. new gateway laptop running XP
2. old laptop running fedora 5, 1ghz cpu, 1gig of ram, 40 gigs of HD
3. my own ip address

an own ip-address shouldn't be necessary if you have the possibility to get your own domain through a provider where you can set the MX- records by your will. Then you register at dyndns or a similar service and set the first mx-record to your dyndns-domain.
