i think it definetly would be feasable. expierence is what counts. though linux differs from other unix like os's, it definetly can give you a foundation to build on for learing all other os's. and if in the end you set up the whole thing, maybe you will use linux to run it, when its for real. and of course learning how to administer the database wil give you great expierence. you have nothing to lose, i say go for it.
