An easy way to practice learning how to admin linux servers is to download virtualbox and then download a server image (*.iso) from your linux distro of choice (I prefer the Ubuntu/Debian side of things.. rec Ubuntu server). You can set up and then destroy without doing any damage so you can easily setup again. The only way to learn this stuff is to just get your hands dirty... it's not hard just kind of hard to google generally. It's better to have specific errors to google for. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
