can someone recommend me a book from amazon or any where on managing and learning about running a dedicated server

I am running a Linux: CentOS 4 I want to learn how to Install and run virtually anything on the server, Host multiple Web sites on one server account. Learn security and trouble client problems like down time and errors. Please any books out there

Well, you will need more than one book..!

Start with

http://www.amazon.com/Teach-Yourself-MyS...

easy to read, great information on apache, etc.

Then get a good solid book on LINUX, centos isn't that different from Red Hat etc.

I like the Red Hat Linux Bible as well as Administrators Guide To Linux.

Good Luck

ADD:

Do yourself a favor and install a control panel like

http://zervex.com or

http://www.ispconfig.org/

There is a complete how to guide for this one on
