Using a Self Managed VPS from Windows
The following Book involves setting up a VPS from windows for newbies to unmanaged servers.
Your OS: Windows
Server OS: Ubuntu 7.10
SSH CLient: Putty
VPS Provider: Slicehost or Linode
I have written the books as a reference for myself and site visitors on how to set up a self managed VPS to run Drupal, Wordpress and/or Wordpress Multi User
The book does not contain information on how to install and configure Drupal, Wordpress and/or Wordpress Multi-User as configuring those systems have much more configuration options which are too extensive to be addressed.
At most I may write a book how to install the above content management systems using CPanel on a shared host.

While http://stevejbayer.com and http://stevebayer.net both have a google page rank of 4, I'm mothballing and pulling content from there over to http://stevejbayer.com since stevejbayer.com has a lot more visitors than stevebayer.net
Exercising my theming skills, I've transformed http://stevejbayer.com/resources into a replica of its stevebayer.net counterpart. That's right, I got the pushbutton theme to work on just one page of the site thanks to http://drupal.org/node/139766 while the remaining pages share a different theme. There was a bit of sidebar juggling involved as the theme in use right now (Barron) has the left sidebar as the default sidebar but displays it on the right. A bit of switching php calls and td (gasp a drupal core theme uses tables?)
