A friend of mine asked me for a "servers 101" type resource where he could quickly learn the important, though basic, things a beginner trying to wrap their head around servers would need to know.

Topics like Server OS's, Shared vs Virtual vs Private, etc would all be useful.

I know enough to get by doing what I need to do with the knowledge, but I can't explain it to him well.

Just trying to see if anyone has possibly come across an article covering this.

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

Came across this: part one of a [slightly more difficult than I was looking for, but] good primer. And part two.
