I run Apache as web server; ProFTPD as FTP server; postfix as SMTP (only)

Your biggest problem will probably be bandwidth, for the video content.

For your static pages, you can check out my page -

lot there, except for scanned photos. Bear in mind; I have a 640K down/90 up
DSL - so the web server can only push pages out to you at 90K.
