Great post - this has motivated me to jump in the water with you Joy. I'm gonna start my Nix/Nux adventure and with setting up a media server at my house. I'm lucky to have some pretty strong hardware (a Dell 4U Rack Mount Server) to install on. @roguepacket - thanks for all the links above!

That's great @bob-beatty you are going to love the UNIX world.

@deniskelley @scottalanmiller It was Slashdotted. May just be one course to put the "massive" in MOOC—

I got my CentOS server up and running last week with Mediawiki. Scott's instructions were very straight forward and I mostly understood what I was doing.
I've managed to end and add a few extensions to MW so far. not to bad - favorite part, when I update a main file just refresh the browser and the changes are there.

CentOS is, in general, quite easy to get started with. Very well documented, heavily used by IT Pros in the enterprise so the Internet is full of good info and no "extra" stuff to make things harder than they have to be.
