The answer is quite simple (but not the one you want probably).
If it is gonna be a server on the internet : get a unix admin course, so you
can actually set up a good environment or ask someone who knows unix to help
you.. (sitting at your machine or having access to your machine). If I have
to cover all possibilities of setting up a machine safe for the internet, it
will take me a while.. (there are a lot of faq's on the linux documentation
project which can give you a head start on this).
If it is for development : just run as root.. We do that even on all
production servers (accept the development server, where everybody has is
own environment).
If you don't have access as root to the machine : let your admin help you
out to get things up and running..
Administration is not an easy job, you have to gather a lot of knowledge and
you can get that mostly by playing around and reading (the last is not my
way, unless I really don't have a clue).
So take it easy at first and if you get comfortable with unix, change it the
way you really want..
Hope the answer helps you anyway..

Martin
