im not going to be doing any reselling ill use the server myself so i dont need to setup virtual accounts for clients or anything like that - ill probably put some blogs on it or other nonsense - seems to me cpanel, directadmin is for working with hosting biz. i just want this server for myself. i want to set up i guess apache, php, hell i couldnt find perl on the damn thing i guess i need to install that but dont know how

i want to pay someone to chat me through a full setup i think its bare bones CentOS right now. i really dont want to install a control panel then install everything via GUI. my brain needs stimulation.
