Why I wrote this blog

I have installed Moodle many times. Usually i go to Moodle Docs but there are many things they don't tell you. So I decided to gather together in one place my own guide.

This resource is designed to help me with everything I need for building Moodle from the ground up. My budget is under $10 a month for a live Moodle sever and I have over 300 students using it. If these pages are useful for someone else, that is a bonus.

Part 3 - Some Linux command line basics

Part 4 - Installing a LAMP server
