    I have found information regarding server administration to be hard to find. Usually, I have to find it in bits and pieces. If your Linux distribution has a manual, you may want to start there. Also, your Linux distribution may have a user's forum where you can ask questions and get pointers.

    For starters, you will have to learn some Linux commands. You will have to learn to install and remove programs using your Linux distribution's package manager. Then you will have to learn about Linux users, groups, and file permissions. If you want to run modern software, then you will have to learn how to compile software on your server because the versions in the official repositories of most Linux distributions is outdated.

    If anyone wants to learn server administration, you do not need to rent a dedicated server or VPS. You can download the free VirtualBox virtualization software and virtualize a Linux server of your choice on your computer. You can access your virtualizer server remotely from your host operating system using puTTY or another SSH client. It's like the real thing.
