Visit: http://www.mysql-apache-php.com After long hardwork and desperation searching web to prepare for a linux server on my VPS plan, i wrote my tutorial for somebody like me who is new to vps and dedicated server felt that it could be helpful. Please comment and any advice would be appreciated.
Nice guide, i was a noob to linux until about 18months ago (well i still am) i loved debian for the same reason you do (apt-get) but recently i got a VPS with Fedora Core 6 installed on there and the Yum command (similar to apt-get) is amazing, makes things so much quicker and easier to install rather then compiling the source code yourself.
nice to hear that. does yum comes preinstalled with your os? i had problems with my vps where yum needs to get installed before anything. had problems though.
Well i only just recently setup my VPS and Yum was already there on FC6 You should also check out how-to-forge.com they have the perfect server setup guides for most linux distros
