These 2 are pure gold. 

Try setting up something real. Like a mail or web
server for morley.org (domain names can be bought for
as little as £2 without buying the hosting).

If your ISP allows you can host your own mail and web
server yourself on a broadband connection.

My web and mail are all hosted on spare machines at
work.

Theres nowt like getting your hands dirty for
learning.
