I've just completed the server install of FC3 text mode. No GUI for me. Maybe in the future but not yet. I would like to configure this server as a mail server (either SendMail or PostFix, I've never used postfix however), DNS, Samba, SFTP, DHCP for starters. I'm hoping someone could offer some advice as to what to start with first. I just completed the install and am now at the command prompt but I'm not sure where to begin or if there is any recommended "tweaking" to be done. How do you approach a fresh new system configuration process?
Thanks and Salute! :)

You should start with SFTP :)as that is the simplest to setup as its just SSH.

Do you think I should go through each indevidual service I want and start configuring them? theres no order that would be more efficiant or certain administrative tasks recommended to perform first?

another reason for leaving sendmail is the disgusting config files...
