I'll be honest, and please don't take offense to what I'm about to say. If you have to ask this sort of question, you really are in trouble. Honestly, if you don't know this sort of stuff, you'd be better off having someone host your site for you. Or, I hope at least you're not running this website on the internet and instead it's on your local network and you're trying to learn.
If you are trying to learn, congratulations, it's a great way to be a success in life. Just be prepared to spend at lot of time figuring this out. I'd say a few months to grasp the fundamentals and another or so to be any good.
"iPlanet" is the webserver.

LEARN(1) General Commands Manual LEARN(1)
NAME
learn - computer aided instruction about UNIX
SYNOPSIS
learn [ -directory ] [ subject [ lesson ] ]
DESCRIPTION
Learn gives Computer Aided Instruction courses and practice in the use of UNIX, the C Shell, and the Berkeley text editors. To get started
simply type learn. If you had used learn before and left your last session without completing a subject, the program will use information
in $HOME/.learnrc to start you up in the same place you left off. Your first time through, learn will ask questions to find out what you
want to do. Some questions may be bypassed by naming a subject, and more yet by naming a lesson. You may enter the lesson as a number
that learn gave you in a previous session. If you do not know the lesson number, you may enter the lesson as a word, and learn will look
for the first lesson containing it. If the lesson is `-', learn prompts for each lesson; this is useful for debugging.
The subject's presently handled are
files
editor
vi
morefiles
macros
eqn
C
There are a few special commands. The command `bye' terminates a learn session and `where' tells you of your progress, with `where m'
telling you more. The command `again' re-displays the text of the lesson and `again lesson' lets you review lesson. There is no way for
learn to tell you the answers it expects in English, however, the command `hint' prints the last part of the lesson script used to evaluate
a response, while `hint m' prints the whole lesson script. This is useful for debugging lessons and might possibly give you an idea about
what it expects.
The -directory option allows one to exercise a script in a nonstandard place.
FILES
/usr/share/learn subtree for all dependent directories and files
/usr/tmp/pl* playpen directories
$HOME/.learnrc startup information

BUGS
The main strength of learn, that it asks the student to use the real UNIX, also makes possible baffling mistakes. It is helpful, espe-
cially for nonprogrammers, to have a UNIX initiate near at hand during the first sessions.
Occasionally lessons are incorrect, sometimes because the local version of a command operates in a non-standard way. Occasionally a lesson
script does not recognize all the different correct responses, in which case the `hint' command may be useful. Such lessons may be skipped
with the `skip' command, but it takes some sophistication to recognize the situation.
To find a lesson given as a word, learn does a simple fgrep(1) through the lessons. It is unclear whether this sort of subject indexing is
better than none.
Spawning a new shell is required for each of many user and internal functions.
The `vi' lessons are provided separately from the others. To use them see your system administrator.
