    Yeah, I would agree with that.

    As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it.  Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
    I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.

    That is a lot to bite off.  If you want basic IT, I'd recommend looking at getting your A+ certification.  If you want to specialize in servers, then I think...
