Well, I guess you could try reading Rute! What do you mean by 'administrator' though? Webserver? Fileserver? X server? Something else?

dns
dhcp
fileserver(samba (with ad auth), nfs)

Probably the best way to learn is by trying these things! If you have an old spare computer about at home, try installing all the above things on it, and see if you can getting them working. At the moment I'm trying to set up a Slackware web/mail/file server at home, and Shilo's guide has been quite useful (although I advise against his suggestion to update using swaret!).

i admin 3 other qmail server
and 2 proftp und 1 vsftp server
because of webmail i run apache2 too.
but i think i have to learn most thing about httpd.conf
i will begin to read a book about that.

i find the routing and firewalling a importend thema
may be i will have a time for them too

Hi,

You present a rather broad question. If it is just admin then a start could be;

If you just want to get experience with systems then get to a machine and load linux distro of choice.
