setup a server

think you might have to offer up a few more points for that one my friend...what are you trying to get done?

Points or no, there are 400 to 500 page books devoted to setting up a server. That aside, there is the practical experience of having set one up [which as anyone who has set up a network knows, it doesn't always work as a book says it will].

More than points, what you'll need to offer is some details.

What hardware are you planning to use? What OS? What kind of server (DNS, Web, File/Print, App, Mail, etc)? What clients? What secondary applications/functions?

There are thousandsof possible answers to your question. We'll need to know what you need and what you want to use to tell you how to install and configure it. Let us know what you are trying to do and we'll get you pointed in the right direction.

Look up a computer vendor in the yellow pages and hire them to do it, you obviously have so little experience with the process that even your question demonstrates you don't even know are many different types of servers.

That's like asking, "can anyone tell me how to design and build a car."
