Serving a Website on a Raspberry Pi Zero Running Entirely in RAM

Oh about twenty years ago, I served a discussion forum on a Pentium I 120 MHz computer with 80 MB of RAM and 2 GB hard disk drive. It was traditional LAMP - Slackware Linux, Apache, MySql, and PHPBB2. The disk frequently spun down because it did a lot with that ram (and, well, it had like 4 users so it was idle most the time).
I thought I was being clever, using an old computer for that until I saw the electric bill.... yikes. At least the raspberry pi surely sips a lot less power :)
