Thanks Gizmo.
You mentioned YUM.
I read that somewhere but I could not find a good unbiased reference again.
I seem to recall that is a command to use but was suggested to use a utility such as (Putty?)

That is the point of my question on software needed.
I guess what I really need is a good reference to learn what I need.

I may need a person such as yourself to go to a vps first time around but I would like to also learn for myself in time. Just anal that way.

Thanks for the server hardware/software suggestions.
