Only static content?

Linux and PHP is huge.  Linux and Java Server Pages/Servlets is growing fast
too.

Hell, you can even run ASP pages on Linux/Apache, minus COM.

As for websphere, looks like they didn't port it to Linux, so if you have
websphere on your OS/400, OS/400 is still your webserver, not Linux.

As far as database connectivity goes, there are a myriad solutions for Linux
db connectivity.  If you are speaking in terms of DB/400, then you can
either use JDBC if you are doing Java, or DB2 Connect for other stuff.
