Building a Linux Server, Start to Finish, using Webmin.

[LinuxMint-4]

This is a great step by step tutorial on how to set up a Debian Server. It is really detailed and the best tutorial I have seen yet. Dann and Pat, you should try to get the author (Kevin the Computer Guy) on your podcast.

Building a Linux Server, Start to Finish, using Webmin.

"This how-to assumes your looking to setup a Linux Server, not a Linux Desktop. For use without a keyboard, mouse, or GUI interface. After setup completes you will be remotely managing it, and will not have a need for the monitor and keyboard once you have finished the initial setup. This how-to also assumes you are connected to the internet, and have at least (2) computers on the same network. It also assumes you will have at least (2) hard-drives in the server, one for the O.S. and one for the data.

Only one network card is needed until the optional \ advanced section.

For every download link, I offer an alternative source (from my server) so that you may follow this how-to exactly, down to the same versions I used. Newer is better, and you’re encouraged to upgrade after you complete this how-to. But for continuity and flow, I provide a link to the same exact versions used in this how-to. Also due to upgrades some versions may no longer be available, if you run into this just use the links to my server, this will ensure matching print screens, or go to webmin.com and find the newer link.

This how-to covers everything from the most basic setup, to a full blown server. You can choose how far to go in this step by step how-to, even setting your Linux box up as your Router, Samba FileServer, Firewall, DNS, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, VMWare Server, backup solution, and more. "
