What is the easiest way to setup your own Linux / Unix Web Server?

Q. Want to learn Unix as much as possible, I figured setting up a web server would be the easiest project to start off with. Can someone reccomend an easy way to go about doing this for a newbie?

A. download and burn .iso images for either ubuntu or fedora. if you're a beginner, don't use ubuntu server edition because it is all command line and there is no graphical window interface. then you want to install and run a web server after you get the linux OS installed, such as apache. i've discovered that help and tutorials are easy to find once you know what the applications' names are, such as
apache=web server
mysql=database

you should be able to google your answers from there.

What are the basic steps to configure IPTables with Fedora Core 5?
Q. I want to use open-source operating system for the first time. Currently, I used to install fedora core 5 on my server, the problem is I don't know how to share my internet connection. And I tried to visit some online forums but I was not satisfied with there given answer. They just recommended to configure iptables but there is no information in a way how to do it. Please help me..Thank you very much!

A. Sorry, i have no experience with Fedora, only Ubuntu and never had to configure IPTables, but i found a few howto's on the net.
Hope at least one of them is helpfull.

Good luck.

How do you purchase Windows Server Licenses?
Q. I wish to purchase a VPS server and I wish to use Windows Server on it. I will probably buy 3-4 VPS for different projects. The servers will be with no OS. How do I obtain a license for the windows server and how much is it?

Thank you!

A. on a vps why would you want to buy windows ?

windows server is only valid for that one virtual machine and as you can see by the price here

is it really worth it ?

i suggest you use an enterprise linux or server linux,
centos and fedora are both free
