Subscribe to blog and Twitter RSS feeds

I chose the twitter post on Building Your Own Web server. The post links to a web-page that gives you step by step instructions on how to build your own web server using Linux Ubuntu Server 11.04 and an old computer you might have lying around. This step by step outline gives you everything you need to set up a free LAN based web server to test out and play with. The article also provides many useful commands that you will need in order to use the web server OS. The web server OS is not graphical so the use of typed commands are very important. The main reason why I chose this twitter post is because I am a Management Information Systems major and I plan on working in an IT department after I graduate. I feel that trying something like this will give me some skills necessary in my planned line of work.
