Well first you have to choose what system (linux)
If you need the best(secure) server is't openBSD check w*w.openbsd.org
you can install openbsd via network or buy there cd.
then download ports tree and start install what progs. you could use webmin (webmin.com).
There is alot of web with info on openBSD
do look on google etc.
good luck

Well... currently, apart from the BSD derivatives mentionned above, you can also choose one of the GNU/Linux distros that are available: RedHat,Suse,Debian,Slackware, etc... they are all easy to install (except maybe the Slackware) and contain all the server you could need...
after that you can read the howto/faq/doc on the Linux Documentation Project homepage (h**p://www.tldp.org/).
Have fun!

Hi .. i am using mandrake distribution without any problem ..
the instalation of nowdays linux is quite user friendly - windows and click based.. of course you need to do fine tuning after installation .. anyway you have to update your problematic components (e.g. ftp, ssh, ..) constantly not to risk intrusion. there are a lot of how to on the net ..
e.g.: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html
or search google with e.g. linux network how to ...
