I'll give that website a thorough shot!

I'm not going to try becoming an expert in just a few days...  But I 
expect I can become fairly expert in specific topics.  Such as 
firewalls; I beleive this topic is fairly small and could be covered 
completely within a few days.  Then apache, again I beleive just a few 
days should be enough to read through the entire documentation and 
searching on the net/mailing lists for possible problems...

I'm going to read as much as possible everyday and slowly I'll put my 
system up piece by piece as soon as I can consider myself educated 
enough to set it up securely.

Thanks,
  Simon
