I dont know anything about a server… i can assume it is same as normal pc but with some advancements that suits a server function…

So i was thinking lately, what is the best way to learn other than building it yourself… and of course im not going to buy a new server for this… watching videos also helps a lot, but doing things in your hand is better…

So i was thinking, is it doable using a normal pc to create a temporary server for learning purpouses?
