Linux

I am a Linux newbie, who is interested in building a working knowledge of Linux and potentially use it as a livelihood. But for starts, my goal is to learn at home. Last night I installed RedHat Fedora 9 on my desktop. I am interesting in building an application home server which will allow me to configure to turn on/off my lights, stereo, TV and check my voice mail and send me a email message to my Palm Treo whenever I get a voice mail on my home number. Do you know of any web addresses/companies that give instruction on how I can fulfill this goal. Thanks!a
