[SLUG] Newbie Sysadmin's Journal

Folks:

I've been doing Linux for ten years now, but there are certain gaps in
my knowledge, just because I don't need to mess with certain parts of Linux.

Long story short, I now have a need to learn how to build an internet
web server from scratch. I've signed up with johncompanies.com for a
virtual server account on which I can host other websites. The server
"instance" I picked out is a Debian machine to which I have ssh access.
Now I have to learn Bind, Apache, Postfix, iptables, and all the other
stuff you have to know to run an internet hosting service.

(Why johncompanies.com? They won the 2006 Linux Journal Best Hosting
Company award. Decent pricing, knowledgeable tech support.)

So I'm busy looking up things, reading books and man pages. And keeping
track of what I do, so I don't forget later.

My question is whether you might be interested in this as well. If so,
I'll put up a page somewhere, so you can look over what I've found and
learn some things yourself, or comment on where I've made mistakes. This
won't be an every day thing. I'll contribute journal entries as I have time.

Let me know if you're interested.

Paul
