For some reason Ive always wanted my own home web server, over the last year or so Ive made several fleeting attempts at it and always failed miserably! I think it is fair to say that
web hosting is not a simple subject to tackle, I would say my knowledge of it ranges to intermediate in some areas and complete novice in others.
Anyway, I recently took the plunge and installed the latest version of Ubuntu Desktop in a dualboot with Windows, this is my first ever experience of using linux and I was actually surprised at how easy it was to get Ubuntu working. Anyways I think the first thing I did was open firefox and search for how to install lamp on Ubuntu Desktop, a day later and I have what appears to be a fully operational web server based on LAMP, running a Wordpress blog!
Now surely it cant just be this easy I think to myself! Common sense however tells me it cant be, after all I have a lot to learn. I realise that running a web server on a platform like Ubuntu Desktop is not ideal in any way, but so far its given me a way to crowbar myself away from Windows and get my head around Linux.
I was pondering about where the best place would be to start on my quest for knowledge of all things LAMP, I instantly thought of you lot here in the eukhost forums. Can anyone offer any advice for where I should go from here?
Many thnks
