That will take care of Qmail and iptables. For an administration, putty.exe or ssh and edit the configs. Everyone loves fedora (except me), so forgive me for asking this.
Do you really want to run someones "test " cycle as a server?
Im not fairly new to unix based flavours, but i was bought up on Redhat, I have found in my own personal experience, that Fedora is fit, and stable to be used for servering. (Others may disagree, and say there are better flavours for servering, which'll i attend to agree on)
The server I am building isn't a 'major' server, just a small samba/nat/pdc for my home network.

I am currently authoring this now, and it should be completed around new years.. 17.5 chapters (of 20) are now complete and covers everything so far that you have requested (except webmin, but you can get an rpm for that).
