Since no one has mentioned it yet - a fairly fast Internet connection would be important to stop people waiting around.
Nothing worse than a terminally slow forum.
I guess you could start on an ADSL or cable connection, but I for one wouldn't dream of hosting on a dial up phone connection.
Also see how about funding it - maybe the most important consideration of all.Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.

just buy webhosting and an address. it's the easiest way. it may cost more, but it definately saves you the time and hassle of setting up apache + php, and configuring it to work for you. plus, the webhost's connection will probably be a lot faster than anything you have at home, and you can blame them for downtime
so, find a good webhost with PHP installed (and look for other things you want too, do some research before you pay up) and download PHPBB from www.PHPBB.com. That forum system is fairly good, with a large community of people making mods for it, and it's FREE.
there are a lot of mods/hacks/skins for it too, and you can always make your own, or find someone here at poly that would help you. we have a lot of photoshop gurus, a gaggle of coders, and a mass of potential mods
