In all reality, not too terribly long, at least if you lump everything up and add it back to back. Samba was one of the first things I tackled dating back to 2006, whereas software RAID is as recent as 8 weeks ago. I remember ZoneMinder was an accidental find when I was searching for Linux based how-to guides on YouTube. I clicked the video out of curiosity and there was ZoneMinder. I didn't have a network based camera, but I was able to utilize a USB webcam instead to at least get the feel of ZoneMinder. That's what got me started there. Samba was kind of an open and shut case since I just read some guides online and got the basic jist of it. That little GUI helped me since I could set up shares then check the smb.conf to see how it's done manually. SSH I learned with me asking some curious questions in the ##linux IRC channel. RAID was more of a recent find. Traditionally I would just do:
HDD 1 - OS
HDD 2 - /home
HDD 3 - an rsync'd copy of /home that runs via script every 6 hours
I began to wonder, why am I rsyncing data locally? Why not just do RAID and not worry about it? There again, a 2 page guide later I was done.
Bottom line: I asked questions.
