I thought that if I wanted to go beyond just tinkering or had more time, a good approach would be to:
1.) Use Akkadius' installers and get it working. Learn to completely remove it (so it's clean) and reinstall/uninstall again and again until it is internalized.
2.) Learn manual install with optimizations, reinstall/uninstall again and again until the process is internalized.
3.) Learn how to do back-ups. Make small changes or break something after doing back-up. Maybe uninstall/reinstall and then restore the back-up. Repeat until internalized.
4.) Learn simple customization. For example, I'd like to move the starting city for all Vah Shir to a different zone, and disable expansions/zones etc.
5.) Start learning more advanced like perl/lua stuff, maybe run through some tutorials on youtube or something.
6.) Take notes, if anything helpful or concise comes out of it, post here so others can learn.
I think I read on the wiki that it basically runs on a commodore64. If you get into this maybe you can build a really cheap server, like mini-ITX and cheap AMD processor to tinker with linux.
