The easiest thing to do would be to hire a systems administrator, but if you think you have the time and will-power to learn it yourself, go for it!</p> <p>Brian</p> <p>------------------<br /> Web Design - Hosting - Promotion - Programming<br /> <a href="http://www.infostardesign.com" class="bb-url"><strong>InfoStar Web Design - Click Here!</strong></a></p> Sun, 14 May 2000 18:39:00 +0000 Brian Farkas comment 1043384 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/server-management/ugghh-gotta-learn-unix#comment-1043383 <p>I probably would have learned Linux before you got the dedicated server. But, since you already own it, buy a book like "Mastering Red Hat Linux 6" but for the flavor of linux that you have.</p> <p>------------------<br /> My name is Nitsuj.
