Hello, I've been developing webs over shared hosts, and both desktop and phone apps, but I never had to configure or take care of a server.

I&#x27;m guessing you&#x27;re asking about Linux sysadmin and not Windows sysadmin, but correct me if I&#x27;m wrong.<p>What sort of Linux experience do you have already? Are you looking to spend money on resources or free stuff only? Also, are you looking for generic &quot;sysadmin&quot; concepts, or for how to implement on a particular operating system like CentOS or Ubuntu?<p>Someone else on HackerNews just open sourced his tutorials: <a href="https://github.com/snori74/ebook1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;snori74&#x2F;ebook1</a>. They&#x27;re written for someone new to Linux but has some Windows background.

I think it starts with you telling us which OS. While the basic concepts are the same regardless of the OS, there are targeted sites&#x2F;books&#x2F;videos for each that can shorten your specific learning curve.
