Hopefully they'll at least link to good configuration sites for each service, to give new players at least a fighting chance. I wonder how long it would take someone to spin up a script to install all of these services... SMTP, POP, IMAP, FTP, etc., one CMS + specific plugins, 2 different internet browsers, 3 web applications & at least 2 different databases So...a mail server, file servers, multi-webhost, databases, and CMS with many plugins. I assume that "different databases" means different database stacks on different clusters, not "both MySQL and SQL Server 2012" on the same server, right? (In Windowsville this would all be within an AD domain, I'm not sure what the Linux equivalent is.) Will there be a required volume of photo/social datamass to be stored on the server? Maybe instead of some kind of "flag file", we'll have to store embarrassing photos of ourselves? Who installs a second browser on a server?

    1. They come preinstalled on some closed-source OSes 2. How else would you connect to a datacenter server's integrated lights out (ILO) webpage from a bastion server within the datacenter and domain, to which you're only allowed an RDP connection?

  Of course, this introduces a meta-game where script writers can include their own malicious code. :)

It might be a great learning opportunity then. Check out some tutorials and see what sort of security considerations go into setting up and running a server.

  sure I'd love to, but I wonder how do you guys keep up, I feel pretty swamped in news, own projects(maintaining 1, like 4 or 5 to start) and work :/
