If you want to have web based applications, I would recommend looking
at PHP with Apache and Postgres. I have started to do some development
with it and I have been pretty impressed with the performance and ease
of programming. I think there might be a few security issues that one
would have to consider. Also, web applications do have some
limitations, so it depends on what you need.
