Hi all, I am currently building a server based on potato. The three servers I am going to be running on the box with be bind,apache, and sendmail. I am doing this for experience and as a project given to me by the admins at work so that I can learn, screw up and ask them questions. Their recommendation is to build all of these from source so I have familiarity with where the tarballs put the files by default and getting experience setting them up by hand. My question is do I need to do anything special for these three. I have installed them from deb's with very little difficulty. But is there any prereq's that I may need that aren't obvious. And could I install the newest versions of these on a potato box?
Thanks in advance. Pat
