The problem is the "o/s installation" part, while I can install Ubuntu which is fairly easy these days, I'm not a sysadmin and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to configure it properly. Do you recommend any book that'd teach me how to set up a dedicated server from start to finish, including all those little details of OS configuration?

I am a sysadmin, and frankly no book will teach you sufficiently.

Either you use Linux all day every day for some time, or hire someone to consult with you. That's my opinion anyway from years of consulting with people :)

I'm usually on Fedora, but I barely have to touch anything.
