Yeah ditto this. I think you'll actually find that's it a fun part of startups too. That said, I bet if you provide some more details on what you have and wha

  It's fun... but it's also a good way to avoid someone having you by the balls if they're the only ones who can run the systems, and there's a problem at 3AM.

    The ubiquitous 3AM phone call.

    You make a very good point, sir. :) It's definitely something we need/want to learn more about (Hi, I would be the other co-founder). I've set up a few servers in the past for small, personal things, so I feel like I have a good basic understanding of how it all works and I'm eager to leanr more. Hosever, since I've had no actual training or instruction on how to efficently set up and secure a server, I just want someone to oversee it and make sure it's done right. If they're willing to teach me, all the better. That said, if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations on the best way to go about learning this particular set of skills, I'm all ears.

      One approach would be to insist that it's you sitting at the keyboard when your expert goes through the system. He'll have to tell you what to do, and explain it if you're not getting it. That works way better than watching over a shoulder. It'll be slower/more expensive, but you get both the actual help as well as some training.
