Story: Build your own Linux server

Not bad for someone starting out in Linux but rather glosses over the problems with certain types of operations such as file systems and samba with firewall's. You shouldn't need to run Partition Magic - you should use fdisk - the debian version and then you can assign any one of 30-odd types of file systems, depending upon the kernal. Then use mkfs to put the filing system on it. Debian is a better choice for Linux if you are from a UNIX background as the commands are closer, but you can't do anything meaningful with LINUX unless you have access to a good manual or handbook. SSH is a better and more secure shell to use rather than Telnet and if you use PuTTY, this is easy.
This articles needs more research I think.
