I'm rather new to this, and I'd like to play with administering a linux box.

Things I need to know how to do:

Setup subdomains
Setup FTP accounts
Setup full domains / add domains
MySQL setup / install / management
LAMP setup / install / management

This is probably going on a CentOS distro. I'd like links or a break down on how I can learn to do this. I am comfortable with a command line, but I'm trying to move from shared hosting to a VPS and would like to have some idea on how deep the water is before I do.
