I'd like a pracatical education on using a server. So I'd like to configure one and use it on my laptop. Currently I'm using FedoraCore3, and I'm about to install '4' so information on either version is good.
If anyone is aware of the above or similar, plus a tutorial on how I can get my own server going, please let me know.
information on "a server"? absolutely any system that will accept incoming connections and provide a reponse of some sort could potentially be deemed to be a server. you need to be a lot more specific in terms of what you want to do.
To be honest, with such a vague question like that, i'd really have to wonder about your motivations in the first place.

Wow Mr. Kewpie you're more freindly on most days.
He is right though please be more specific. What kind of server? A web server for web pages? A print server for your home network? What is it that you want your laptop to do for you?
Ok now we are getting somewhere. The software most Linux user work with is apache web server software. Most distro's install it as a default.
So step on for you is probabley to get the apache web server installed and configured on your laptop. Right? Right!
