Hi Gilles.

Michael's absolutely right.

No - it just needs a webserver +
PHP and a database.
If you want to make it easy, use apache(2), php5.x and MySQL.

You can use any webserver you like, the main dependency is PHP.
If you want 'nice' urls you might run into trouble. With Apache there's a 
module called mod_rewrite.so used for this.
lighthttpd also supports this, with a plugin and has its advantages in 
performance.
I never used nginx and I probably never will :-)

>> Where can I find advice?

Just download the source and the dummy-package of TYPO3. Unpack it, read 
the installation instructions to start off.
If you want to do imageprocessing, use graphicsmagick - do not even think 
about imagemagick, it's a mess.

Good luck,
Steffen
