Its a simple perl script with a few directories that contain the wiki data. Usemod wiki allows you to keep a revision history as well.
A blog is just as SEP said, an online diary. I've used drupal, and movable type
drupal: http://www.drupal.org/
MT: http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ ( has a limited free version, unlimited requires a license $ )
Both of these technologies you are looking into ( wiki and blog ) are web based. That means the only requirement is a web server. You can install apache on all of the major version of linux, I recommend any of these three Fedora, debian, or gentoo. They each have their strengths and weaknesses.
As far as hardware is concerned, depends on how much traffic you expect. If this machine is going to get thousands of hits a second ( ie. www.microsoft.com ) you will need a fast server, but if this is just for a small office, you don't need very much. My home machine is a P3 450 with 256 megs of RAM, and for my needs its plenty fast.
Advice:
If this is your first linux box, I would install Fedora it requires the least amount of knowledge at installation, it has the most user friendly interface as well.

Re: Wikis and Blogs
a blog is basicly like a diary (weblog), where people write little pieces of all kinds of bits about whatever they feel like.
ofcourse linux supports these 'technologies', perhaps even easier then other OS' since a lot of them are open source. The requirements depend on a lot of things, like the number of users and the programs used, so it is impossible to answer this question.
wiki programs include: moinmoin, wikalong, wikkitikkitavi, yawiki, etc...
blogs: blog:cms, b2evolution, blosxom, etc...

Re: Wikis and Blogs
WikiWiki is Hawaiian and means "quick". Started off in 1995 and has recently gained popularity.
I guess which wiki to use depends on what environment you are using for other purposes. If the developers in your organization are developing using C, find something made from that. If you are using LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python) then a distribution made from that. Seems most Wiki implementation are open source. My organization develop using Java Enterprise, so we opted for JSPWiki from http://www.jspwiki.org/. We run it on Linux under a JBoss application server. Could be run under Tomcat and other JSP Engines.
Check out the One Minute Wiki to find out what it is http://www.jspwiki.org/Wiki.jsp?page=OneMinuteWiki
