Dear Webmasters,

I'm in linux and vps hosting for more than a year now. I always used kloxo on my vps-s, and ubuntu as a desktop on my home environment.

After all the time i decided to leave all the panels for web server and try to build/manage a server of my own from scratch (a lowendbox). Now, i used tutorials which succesfully helped to build those systems, but...

Different developers and different webmasters (on different level) writing codes (with different level of reliability and security).

Now after all the looting and patching my code with already written examples (without a high understanding of it) i would love to learn web server management from the scratch.

So are there any books or tutorials, that i can print for myself to learn (i like to read them on buses or when i can't use a laptop)? I know it is hard, but i would love to learn only stuff, that is needed for a web server to run safely/securely and effectively. I know there are books of linux with 1000+ pages, the same with web servers like apache and nginx - but i would love to find a tutorial which writes down just the basic and most important knowledge so i can setup a site without a panel which is secure and runs with just the bare minimum.

Basically i want to setup those lowendbox without any self-install scripts and full understanding of what i'm doing. My current problems are mainly around permissions and security (which is linked with user permissions too)

Thank you in advance for any advices!
