Hello everyone, I recently made a spigot account, and I was interested in the sys admin section.

I was wondering what programs a system admin needs to know, and other things as well.

ALSO: If you could teach me it would be awsome, otherwise I will use youtube turtorials.


THANKS

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

You don't really need to know any specific programs to be a System Administrator, just Linux as a whole.

As far as requirements for Minecraft server setup goes, you'd probably want to know Apache2\nginx, MySQL, possibly PHP if you're doing forum setup. Proficient ability to read system logs, bash scripting, etc.

As Latouth said, just become proficient at using various distros of Linux without guides, and you should be fine.

Also, RTFM

So linux is something I *Have* to know?

I can't just use MySQL to setup for people? Without getting a new operating system.

I recommend dual booting Windows and Ubuntu. The installation itself is somewhat difficult, so you start right off the bat.

Despite with others may say, no popular Linux distribution is really 'better' than any other, it's a matter of taste.

Of course, many small distributions aren't that good, but the popular ones like CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu, or Fedora really don't vary much.
