What do you mean by "photo server?" Do you mean a place where you can put your photos so other people on the internet can view them? Or do you mean a place where other people can put their pictures and share them with the world? Do you want it hosted locally on a home PC or remotely on a private, paid hosting server like olm.net or liquidweb.com? We need a lot more information on what you want to do before we can help.

a place for me to post my pictures on my computer and other to see them

Well there are a couple of options for you on that, you can sign up with yahoo and they allow you to make free photo albums and you can also get free or paid web space upload them and post them on your index page.

or you can use xp with apache, but xp cannot read linux partitions
