What is the best documentation for Linux servers?

Q. Linux server with better documentation to enter the world of Linux servers.

A. Linux server? What server? Every Linux application, server or not, includes the author's documentation. There is a Linux command that specifically opens those files. It's called "man" (short for manual) like "man apache" (Apache is the worldwide leading web server to date). If you search the internet for more documentation, chances are you will be brought to a page that more or less replicates the 'man' page. There are other sites that document personal notes about installation which may or may not be useful to you and there are books that cater to specific and broad server installation procedures which more or less go back to the man page.

How do you Reboot a Macbook to use a linux server?
Q. I need to install a linux server on my macbook, but I am having trouble rebooting it and for it to recognize the server. Can someone please help me out?

A. The EFI on mac's is a little tricky to work with. A lot of good info availible on the reEFIt site. A protective MBR is probably the easiest setup to work with.

What are my options to send data securely from a vb.net application to a Linux server?
Q. It's an Ubuntu Linux server with Apache 2.2. What are my choices for sending secure SQL queries AND secure information (separate from the queries) to the server? (The server is also running MySQL and PHP, and I am very comfortable programming in both). Thanks!

A. HTTP over SSL with authentication, I presume - either using a client certificate, or a password scheme like authentication/basic . You can wrap most tcp/ip applications in SSL, so you could make direct SQL connections in principle, if MySQL is listening on the network and is suitably secured with passwords. I know that's possible in Linux, but I'm not sure what one can do in vb.net.
