No specs really... just make sure in your designs you accomodate people with different browsers, different resolutions, broadband AND dial-up friendly.
Linux: VI for your code / GIMP for graphics Windows: Textpad, Dreamweaver for code / Adobe Photoshop for graphics

for programming you can use any machine possible, as long as it has a text-editor, for the webserver it really depends how many hits you get. but anything will do. For the longest time i had a webserver running on a 166Ghz with 32MB of RAM.

That certainly is a strange question. I would recommend an Editor
 . Anything from WordPad to vi/emacs or any other all purpose editor, whatever your favorite is. You can also use editors like Bluefish or Quanta, which have been 'enhanced' to make web programming easier. There are lots of editors out there. Dreamweaver, CoffeeCup, HTMLEdit, Phase5, etc. etc. Whatever you feel most comfortable with (many require a high tolerance of bells and whistles  ). Most IDE's will do the job as well.

minimum specs: you can make a website any bitmap editor (paint, gimp, photoshop) you can use any platform to make the site and in my experience if you stick as close as you can to wc3 standards your site can be viewed well enough on most browsers.
The htm code can be done using any text editor as long as you save it as a valid extension (htm, html, etc.) Best software to use, in my experience there is no better webdesign software than Macromedia Dreamweaver it can be run on most systems using 128 RAM (256 is preferred) and about 600MHZ processor speed (though 800 is preferred) Best image creation software for web has to be #1 Photoshop and #2 Gimp, the only thing that makes photoshop better is that you can easily do slices and save compressed images ready for web, you can also integrate on your images rollovers and export them as such. The rollovers photoshop creates work on most major browsers, the only drawback is the javascript it generates for the rollovers is quite extensive, every byte counts for fast loading times for your page. (same specs as mentioned above)

i think you'd be hard pressed to find a computer incapable of doing web programming.

Well, the biggest part of web programming is the rendering of the site you made. If you're using things like flash, java, or extensive javascript, you'll need a high-class PII or so with at least 128MB of ram. It may not sound like much to most people, but it's a bit better than what most people have "laying around", if anything.
