A forum is less about hardware or software and is more about building a community. Having said that:
Linux is fine (LAMP). The details are not so important without any usage stats, and since you have no users, worrying about CPUs, etc. is really not important. It's easy to move from one server to another.
The forum software should be supported by a large, activity community and have an extensible system (plugins, etc.). We went with vBulletin many years ago, but I don't recommend it now because I newer versions are far too "bloated" and I don't think you should start with some older, unsupported legacy version.
Having said that, I still like our vB 3.8 system and would not change our forum to another software, because we have many years developing code and plugins for it.
So, whatever you should, you should choose some modern LAMP forum software you like that has a large community of users and plugin developers; and has a fully open extensible system you can modify, install plugins / add-ons, and easily write your own code extensions as required.

Let me start off by saying that I am by no means a unix person.

cf-know(8) System Manager's Manual cf-know(8)
NAME
cf-know - cfengine's knowledge agent
SYNOPSIS
:
cf-know [options]
DESCRIPTION
:
The knowledge management agent is capable of building and analysing a semantic knowledge network. It can configure a relational database to
contain an ISO standard topic map and permit regular-expression based searching of the map. Analysis of the semantic network can be per-
formed providing graphical output of the data, and cf-know can assemble and converge the reference manual for the current version of the
Cfengine software. cfengine is a self-healing configuration and change management based system. You can think of cfengine as a very high
level language, much higher level than Perl or shell. Asingle statement is called a promise, and compliance can result in many hundreds of
filesbeing created, or the permissions of many hundreds offiles being set. The idea of cfengine is to create a one or more sets of configu-
ration files which willclassify and describe the setup of every host in a network.
