Instead of continuing to add virtual servers as I expand my hosting customer base, I'm ready to set up my own server and install it at a local data center. I have the box and need to format the hard drives, etc., and install FreeBSD. I'm in way over my head. I want to make sure I do it the smart way the first time. Is there anywhere you can point me for documentation on the (correct) steps to take, best setup practices, etc.? It might be easier to hire someone to come in and do the set up/install for me (while I watch), or possibly talk me through it via phone. Please send contact info if you're interested. Thanks so much for your time. -------------------------------------------------------- Charlotte W.
