I like watching conference presentations that show you how to do things when it comes to server setup/deployment etc.

Any good ones out there?

The more practical and hands on the better.

check out CloudifySource TV, some videos on how to orchestrate services using Cloudify, an open source PaaS stack for setting and orchestrating application deployment on the cloud.

You can try looking in youtube for videos, since it looks like you're specially interested in systems management I think that the following conference videos would be ideal for you

Those are the two main sysadmin conferences right now, I would start by looking at those and then you can always proceed to further conferences as your requirements change

http://confreaks.net/events has a lot of videos. But they are more around programming than server maintenance/setup.

http://pivotallabs.com/talks/ has a number of good videos, though they aren't conference videos, they are similar. Again, though, the focus is more on the software development process.

Check out http://www.securitytube.net/, obviously it is mostly about security but there is a lot of stuff on there that is really useful for sysadmin's. I found a great video there about tcpdump and SELinux.
