Why a Linux Server Diary?

Hello.

I plan to setup a server for my home network, and I'm starting this diary for a couple of reasons.

• I'd like to keep track of what I try and what works. I setup an IMAP server last year, and I went through a lot of experimentation. Unfortunately, I didn't document my steps, so I'll have to learn it all over again.
• I'd love to get advice from the many Linux experts around the globe. Please feel free to send suggestions or constructive criticism.

Wish me luck!
