It’s impossible to say. Not only is it highly dependent upon what sort of person you are, but it also depends on what exactly you are doing and how you define ‘sufficient mastery’. Being able to get Apache operational is a simple matter of following step-by-step tutorials, you could do that in a matter of hours. Being able to run a multi-user server competently takes a hell of a lot longer, and the handbook isn’t nearly enough.
