Conceptually, start with your own laptop/pc. Use Linux for your daily tasks. What's more real than our
daily life?
Technically, get yourself familiarized with
FHS, and it's important to make your fingers dirty with
vi. Try figure out how
permission and
ownership works.
Pipe something. Create, move, delete. Read manpages. Don't sleep.
Dig deeper into filesystem layer, it's a tricky area.
Fdisk your disk, and
parted some new partitions,
RAID it, and
make it useful. Or make it
logical. Mount, unmount, destroy, reboot, and see
what happens. Don't forget to give your girlfriend a call. Read manpages.
Then try bring your linux
online. You likely want to install
this or
that. Or curious if your Linux
could perform any better. Read manpages.
Share your MP3s or knowledge with others, as teaching is actually the best way to learn something.
Once your Linux got connected, you probably urge to invent some sort of
nickname for your machine and tell your friends to give you a
visit, or
staying away from bad guys. And if you really got paranoid, you could lock yourself in a
jail, or go even crazier and make
root practically
unusable. Get some smoke, drink beers. Read manpages.
Server admin role? Well, you've heard about
99.9999%-availability-thing out there, that means that your
boss has a chance of 0.0001% to get you fired in every 365 days. And nights. And he's counting. And your girlfriend's calling. If this happens, read manpages. I mean, some treatment can help your
heartbeat get back to normal. Or you could make something up to fake that your server has, say,
9 lives and being immortal. Let your boss counting sheep in his bed. Now go on, take your girlfriend out once in a while, treat her nice, take her shopping or something.
Server admin role? Just remember these; Exercise, Expertise, Experience, Example, Ex-girlfriend.
Please take my advice lightly, and sorry for the speech.
