i have basic knowledge of linux. by no means a guru. what do i have to master to in order to manage my own servers ? i have plenty of linux resource books around the house to learn from as well as the vast array of documentation on the net.

thanks

i didn't think anyone could squeeze the linux documentation project into their own head

I'd recommend keeping notes on everything helpful that you read.

Some things to make sure you know:
- tar
- how to restart FTP, Apache, your control panel, et cetera
- how to see who is on your server
- how to check the load
- how to kill processes
- how to move between directories
- how to copy and move files
- how to use vi

and much more.. that's just a start.
