I wasn't involved in this discussion so I'll just confine myself to your
plight.
I don't recall ever reading about any order of things.
A VERY important thing to learn is the 'man' command...
try this...'man mount'
Another important thing to learn is that administration has
traditionally been done from the command line and there are an
incomplete suite of GUI based tools for system administration and I
wouldn't necessarily recommend them but if you are determined to fight
through a server setup without learning anything, check out
www.webmin.com
lastly - please review Eric Raymond's 'How to Ask Questions the Smart
Way' <http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html>
