Hi there!
I learned linux on my own too, so I know how rough things can be in the beginning.
As for CentOS, it's crap*. You should try Debian Etch for a server, it has rock solid security and it will work on the oldest of hardware (I have a 133mhz/64mb ram running debian in my closet).
*Note: This is a personal opinion. Not to be taken rudely.
