New Hobby: Server Administration
I work with several very good server admins who let me play on their hardware for very little money. I am very grateful for them and owe them both a debt of gratitude (as well as some money to help them upgrade their setups). Thanks Russ
(that is: Wombat) and Mike (Konsole), and special props to Tony for some work he does (esp. PlanetRock).
However, I am not content to simply be agnostic to how servers work, and e-mail the admins every time I need something done. I would love to delve into the world of Server security, hosting, and administration.
I prefer to work with a LAMP platform.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get started into this? What kind of hardware is required, what kind of connection will I need. Software? Security considerations?
