*** From some of your previous posts I noticed you're very new to Linux.
What i also notice is you want to do a lot of stuff right away before even
getting familiar with the basics. I also don't have the impression you've

HOWTO's, man pages and subscribe to relevant lists. Running a web and mail
server implies a bit more than just opening port 80 & 25.

What about security issues, keeping up2date with patches, backup procedures,
a firewall, spam issues...?

You know what happens when you find out - too late - your mail server is an
open relay or your web server got cracked and is serving porn pages
instead...?
