I’ve learnt quite a lot about Linux server administration in the last year or so. I had found this subject complicated and inaccessible, but recently it’s been a lot more fun and easy to understand. This is entirely due to Slicehost, my all-time favourite hosting company.
Slicehost offer basic ‘slices’ (IP address, storage, bandwidth and RAM) for as little as $20 per month, you get to choose the installed OS from the major Linux distros. This means you have to do everything else yourself; extra packages, web servers, databases, email, whatever. For someone like myself the learning curve was a little steep, but due to Slicehost’s powerful admin tool and incredibly well-written articles you can start doing this stuff with only a little understanding about server admin.
So, if you want to learn this stuff quickly, buy a Slice and refer to PickledOnion’s articles. Easy!
