Getting started with VPS management through UNIX

Hi everybody, I have a VPS account and I have hit my limit for domains to manage through Plesk. I now need to begin administering new domains through UNIX. I've never used UNIX before but do have some experience with command line environments. I was able to connect today (I think). So the next thing is to actually start doing the work. From what I can tell, I need to be able to accomplish the following:

Quote:
1. Create new user account (meaning a domain level user without root access to the VPS for the purpose of physical hosting).

2. Establish limits on bandwidth and storage space.

3. Create related FTP account and restrict to appropriate directory

4. Activate SSL suport

5. Activate Front Page support

6. Activate Apache ASP support

7. Activate SSI support

8. Activate PHP support

9. Activate CGI support

10. Activate mod_perl support

11. Activate mod_python support

12. Activate custom error documents

13 Create mySQL database

14. Create mySQL database user.

15. Edit Bandwidth and storage permissions

16. Deactivate items listed above for activation.

17. Delete mySQL database user

18. Delete mySQL database

19. Delete FTP user

20 Delete user account
I am not looking for somebody to lay out every single command i've listed above. But I am looking for recommendations on a good resource or two to get me started. I woudl also appreciate any comments on my list if there are any glaring errors.

Finally, I would appreciate an explanation of what my configuration means. My host told me that the machine is running UNIX version 2.6.9 with Fedora. Does this make sense (they've been wrong before) and what exactly does that mean.

Thanks in advance. I know this is a long post but I thought it best to consolidate everything and work from there.
