Looking for Video tutorials for training to become a linux based sysadmin - right from setting up servers to designing a datacenter.
Any structured video tutorials for the same?

First I must mention that I myself am not a sysadmin although I do some sysadmin type of stuff at my startup (I'm a programmer first). However, I have the following contributions to this thread:
man 2 setuid
. The above list is probably incomplete, but hopefully helpful all the same. Good luck!
Becoming a good sysadmin takes a few years. Seeing that youtube has a video length limit of about 10 minutes, you would have to watch about 50.000 videos.
Seriously: get going by setting up a linux system at home, best start with virtual machines that you can screw up, and do more and more advanced things that you personally want or need.
Nothing beats first hand training. FYI, Sysadmin in general is a three year apprenticeship vocation here in Germany. After that time, the trainees are deemed ready to work alone and responsibly.
Install a Linux system on a machine, play with it, read serverfault questions and answers, apply them. It takes time to acquire experience.
Sysadmin is a job, and most advanced linux sysadmins have a position of an engineer. I don't know how you can learn to be an engineer with merely videos on YouTube, but you can get the knowledge with personal experience.
You could also get involved in Linux communities, getting involved in projects like Debian, Ubuntu or Fedora. This should teach you quite a bit about Linux and help you acquire sysadmin skills.
That said, it could be interesting at some point to have video tutorials for the most common things you might want to do as a Linux sysadmin.
this will not help you becoming sysadmin 'from scratch', nevertheless i find following highly entertaining and somehow sysadmin-related:
Agree with Posipiet. It's a good idea for wonna-be Linux sysadmins to get used to manuals and books.
Mac OS X Server/Windows does provide easy to use GUI configuration tools and Mac OS X Server/Windows sysadmins may pick up the skill by viewing video tutorials. Maybe Linux will catup up soon.
But I believe video tutorial alone will never teach you enough skill to design a datacenter (except that it's a datacenter for family usage).
