I would setup a system with Windows Home Server 2011 which allows you to setup a VPN server. People can connect to the VPN and then play Minecraft on your server.
Port forwarding is completely fine if you are only opening a few ports, but it does expose those ports to the Internet. Port forwarding is different on every router.
When it comes to the DMZ I'd avoid it since a DMZ server has all of the ports open to the Internet which isn't very secure.
I have a triple core server to host Minecraft. One is for Minecraft, one is for the OS and other processes, and one is for the website. Minecraft itself can't use more than one core.
I think they should add copper ore that can make copper blocks. It could make copper tools which are better than stone tools but not as good as iron tools. You can also make copper blocks.
I'd build a system with Core i3 2120 processor, a really cheap case with built in power supply, a cheap motherboard, 4-8GB of RAM, and the cheapest hard drive you can find.
Minecraft relies mostly on the processor, my secondary PC has a 2120 processor and it runs Minecraft very smoothly.

I second that, I love Ubuntu. It's the most popular Linux distro so there is a ton of documentation and users to help you out.
