When you start up a new site it's always best to start out with some objectives about what you actually want to do with it. Many projects have failed because they lacked direction or just tried to fit in with too many niches and achieve too much. So, before I start filling this blog up with content that has no point or purpose, let me tell you what it's for.

Basically, this is more of a personal site, for me. I want to use it to record everything I've done with my new and shiny virtual server. First, because I've never used Debian before and there's a large likelihood that I'll do something stupid (don't worry, I've already heard about rm –rf) and break the entire thing and have to start again. When I do, at least I'll have this site to tell me what I did so I can get it back to a usable state.

Second, as I've been looking around the internet for help with certain things, I've come across hundreds of sites which is a little annoying. Shouldn't there be just one site that tells me all that I need to know about Debian? I'm hoping I can use this site to compile those websites so I can find them in the future.

Since most the stuff I'll be posting shall be public, there's no reason why you guys can't benefit from my lessons either. You might be at the same stage as me – bored of the limitations of your share hosting, and feel like you can handle managing your own server – so you'll need to learn the same as me too, I guess.

Oh, and of course there's the advertising revenue I can make off a Unix site.
