[WEB4LIB] learning to deal with a server

[Jon Solomon]

gillian,

i don't do any webhosting/server administration myself, but many of the
"oreilly" (http://web.oreilly.com) books are very good.  specifically,
they have a book called "webmaster in a nutshell" which covers many
aspects of webhosting.  it's more of a reference manual, so you can look
up what you need.
