@Street, LAMP is much more than pure HTML. Serving HTML is literally just spitting out text over TCP/IP. LAMP implies a database, a server-side scripting language, a specific HTML server (all you really need), and the Linux kernel. It's not entirely surprising that the RPi would choke on not only running a complete kernel, but also a fairly inefficient HTML server, database AND scripting language. It's a problem that screams for a parallel solution, but being run on a single-core device.

On the other hand, if you just want to handle HTML, you just need to be able to speak TCP/IP and vomit text documents. As pimath points out, the Arduino has been demonstrated to be able to do this, albeit with an ethernet shield. So, practically speaking, it's not so crazy to suggest a self-hosting ez8 site.

I should link to it on my BASIC website :D
Only prob, while you have a real site, I'm struggling with the HTML porting for my google site... And some friends are not exactly helping.

Your google site? Does it use any server-side features like PHP?

There shouldn't be any "conversion" necessary if it's a normal web page.

I know what that is, I am only saying that too many requests will make it slow quickly. Also, you need a way to host bigger stuff such as images.

I think this website could easily be hosted on an eZ80 or maybe even an eZ8. It's mostly text and very little images. For images I'd use a different machine though.
If you like my work: why not give me an internet?

Added a construction guide for making a smartcable: http://ez8tut.sourceforge.net/?p=cpu/cable.php
Also corrected some articles that stated it was impossible to make your own cable :P
