Setting up Debian Virtual Private Server

I recently went through the joy of setting my new virtual private server. Being new to server administration, it's been quite an adventure (and quite a bit of frustration).

I've learned quite a few lessons on setting up various things and I'll share my experience over the next few entries as I progress and learn more. On my checklist of things (some are done, some are not), I have:
  • Firewall - iptables
  • SSH - sshd
  • Webserver - Apache2
  • FTP server - ProFTPD
  • DNS entries
  • Mail server (Virtual Mailboxes, Webmail)
  • Various Languages - Python, PHP, PERL, etc...
  • Various Apps - emacs, git, dvtm, etc...
My server is running Debian Etch.
