Peter,

You might want to check out reddit, specifically r/homelab. That subreddit has a lot of good resources for the type of stuff you've described (check the wiki).

This mailing list is more aimed at enterprise-level networking, so probably not the best place to ask these kind of questions.

Best,
Ross

Hi Peter,
I might suggest that you start at the beginning, perhaps with google or some classes - either something in person, or maybe just some introductory videos online that discuss entry level IT topics. 

As far as recommended hardware, a raspberry pi may be a quick, inexpensive way to get started. 

Good luck!
