Setting up a Server

Setting up a Linux server wasn’t as easy as I expected it to be. I recently started a new job as a research assistant for Dr. Phil Windley at Brigham Young University. My first assignment was to set up our new Dell PowerEdge server with Fedora Core 2. This is the first time I have ever set up a server. I expected to have it up and running in a couple of days.
After just over a week of poking, prodding, installing, uninstalling and installing again I finally got the server up and running. It was a miracle. I am currently putting together a page that describes the steps I took to get the server running. The page can be found here. I had Googled for articles on ways to install all the packages I needed but still ran into trouble. I figured it couldn’t hurt ot have another reference out there to help those who need that kind of help just as I did. Next time I will know what I am doing.
