Hello All,

Well, my new Fedora 2 seems to be running great and I have just gotten 
my virtual email server set up via qmailrocks which seems to be running 
very well on my new system.

I am wanting to learn how to set up am run a linux web hosting service 
as an opensource learning project to select some of the best 
applications to be included from around the web and using Fedora 2 as 
the platform. As I am new to this hosting I am sure not to use the 
correct terminology.

Could anyone please point me in the write direction to possibly locate 
some information on things like:

1.  "web based control panels" that maybe similar to Plesk but 
opensource so users can control they hosting accounts.
2. Maybe a user registration/admin  PHP script or so that they can set 
up a basic account on a server
3. Not sure how the domain registration works but I want to learn about 
that too.
4. I would like to also implement a Dynamic DNS for users with dialup 
accounts as well.
5. Will implement things like SAMBA to the users accounts as well as 
offering them web, mail, and ftp services

By the way, all of this is to be opensource and free

Anyway, this should be some good learning on how to be a linux hosting 
service provider and I hope to get some good guidance from the forum.

Thanks for any help that you might be able to provide.
Lonnie
