NFS is good to share files between UNIX like oses only. NFSv4 is recommended due to strong ACL and security support. Use samba to share printers and file between MS-Windows and UNIX like oses.

Looks good to me. This baby can server 2-5 million page views per month :)

Do you've any plan to make money (you said something about business) out of it or just hobby kind of server setup? If I were you I will start with basic hardware with RAID1 (trust me server do not need lots of hard disk space). Make sure motherboard support 4 hard disks (2 SATA connections) and...

What are you talking about? I use screen everyday and never seen CPU usage problem under FreeBSD (but then all our servers are quad or dual core with multiple CPUs with minimum 8GiB). screen is by default available under all Linux distro and I'm a long time user. There is no point using random...
