Linux home data center challenge :-)

[Dan Carl]

Try here you should find everything you need.

I have a Linux network at home and administrator
a real data center at work the only difference is the 
size of the pipe.
The fundamentals are the same.
I suggest learning to use the command line.
Start out configuring your box as a firewall/router
first. Then in time add more functionality to it like:
DHCP, DNS, Mail, Samba, etc.
If you have a question goggle it first most answers are out there.
Lists like these are more for when you get stuck.
Good Luck
