I am 99% sure that this is the wrong thread for this, but it's been something bothering me for a while. I have an array of software and books (mostly from the 90s) that go into detail about databases and server setup. However, it seems most of them were instructions for setup with the reader already being proficient in the process itself. I've been looking at using a big standard modern Dell as a server for all my retro needs (file sharing, databases, etc). I've been following AkBKukU and I've been fascinated by all this ancient server tech he handles with (alongside his modern Linux stuff, which I am also clueless). I just want to know how I can learn more about server stuff, without going into all the modern cloud-based jargon I always see being thrown around in tutorials. I want to DO something with my NT 4.0, and transfer files through dozens of apparently incompatible devices. I want horribly ancient switches and obnoxious HDD arrays. It seems amazing to me, but I just don't know where to start. Is there some ancient webpage that helps someone as utterly clueless as I am?
