[Koha] What kind of IT skills required...?

[Smurk]

Hello

Sorry, it will definitely be a bunch of silly questions, but I really don't
know...
What kind of IT skills are required for someone to run Koha on a private
server (for a small network of about 6 libraries, each with a very limited
collection) and do the maintenance etc?  I have been asked to help a little
library who would like to have her own server and centralize for the few
other libraries of its network.  I know Koha very well, I am quite good with
computers and training people and all library things.  I create websites, I
know PhP and MySql (but not really the other languages).  But I have never
installed or used a server, I have no idea what that involves.  Is it like
setting a new computer and let's go?  Will the server be delivered with
Windows or Linux or I don't know what other OS?  I will have to organise
daily back-ups, is that something easy?  I will have to link the server with
a website or something like that (I told you I don't know anything), is that
really tricky?  Do I have to know Perl or can I just install whatever
package ares required and that would do it?  Are there other important
things that I need to know before I may plan to do it...?

Ultimately, can I ask someone else to set up the server and I only step in
when it's all ready to go?  I mean, is that really something that we can ask
an IT company to do for us?

Many thanks for your help!

Sonia.
