thanks for bumps and links and everything!
supert ... thanks ive googled a lot and didnt find those on my own. those are the best so far!
klen - thanks for your offer but honestly im expecting to pay more than 20 per hour. also english is not your first language. no offense. i also dont want to start with webmin - if i understand correctly that would automate a lot of the stuff i want to do via command prompt (im trying to stimulate my dying brain here)
borked - ill hit you on icq - i have crazy hours but if i catch you ill catch you - if we work something out we work something out ;) ... i intend to get a shitbox and books and do *nix installs - but i can afford this server, i can afford to completely fuck up the OS, and pay the host to reinstall it, and i dont need it online - so im ready to have some fun

... why freebsd and not centOS?

thx everyone
