I wouldn't bother with Webadmin if the intention is to get down to the nitty gritty and learn stuff. But then personally I wouldn't bother with Webadmin at all, so there is some bias there.
Presumably you have some version of Windows installed as main desktop/laptop system. In that case PuTTY will get you SSH access to the Linux box. So now you can login to get a command line window.
Google for a command line cheat sheet. It's worth becoming familiar with Bash's key binding, living with the Bash command line is a whole different experience to DOS/Windows once you know the various shortcuts.
Next you need a way to edit config files. 'nano' should be installed by default and is simple enough to get any fool into and out of trouble. There are other editors that will run in a console of course.
If you want to get all pointy clicky and wysiwyg, then yes an X Server running locally may be required, which could be an adventure in itself. Alternatively use a Windows editor and then SCP or FTP for file transfer to/from the Linux box. Some editors have this built in or you can use WinSCP separately.Comment
