Is there a page of Cent-OS commands I can learn from to start dealing with the server issues? It seems like an appropriate time to learn some. Do you agree?<br></blockquote><div><br>There are many, many pages. I recommend Server Fault as a good place to start looking. They have questions[1] that seem pretty orientated to .<br>
<br>Some things to be aware of:<br> - make sure you ask smart questions [2]<br> - embrace CLI<br> - take some time to understand what a package is. Once you've discovered how useful they are, you'll never need to download software from vendors' webpages.<br>
- almost all Unix variants tend to use the same applications. So, don't necessarily restrict yourself to CentOS tutorials.<br> - however, locations of config files & names of packages can be a pain. <br><br>Upshot is that when you're configuring your CentOS system, follow their instructions (or those of Red Hat, Fedora). However, when you want to lean how to use the find command, all tutorials should be equally valid.<br>
