so, couple questions... I've decided, after 4 years in working in hosting, I need to find out what this whole "server thing" is about.
I have the opportunity to get a dedicated server for relatively cheap and free bandwidth/collocation.
I kinda want to learn more about sql, since it seems like we've got a lot of client stuff running with it.
anyone have any suggestions for books to help get a noobtard started?
also, what specs would you think would be the min. for a decent server that wouldn't be pushing a ton of load? I'm mostly just planning on using it to practice/learn stuff with, and maybe some light file hosting for my own needs.
