Well it appears to be that the person I bought the server off of, sold me a broken server!

For some reason, it doesn't like any RAID setups I set up. And I tried all of them. None of the hard...

I'm not sure if it's a snapshot of Debian unstable.

Yeah, trying something new is always something great to do. ;)

Okay, he's sending me the cable now... (of course for free)

He actually didn't ask any questions. I guess the photo(s) did speak 1,000 words. ;)


Thanks guys! I'll probably be installing...

Haha, that was exactly what I was trying to do.

But the thing was, I didn't know the hard drives were not connected from the SCSI Backplane to the controller...

I might need that cable. :D

Why would you want to put Debian on it? I'm just asking because I would like to get the most opinions here...

I love Debain based distros... Right now, I am thinking about using Debian. This is...

I know! I didn't see any cable at all! Apparantly, I was right... I didn't see any IDE (wouldn't know why there would be an IDE cable for a SCSI hard drive though) cable either... Those are the only...

Yes, the BIOS is saying that...


Can you please take a look at this guys? I actually think I'm missing the cable from the SCSI board (where the CD drive, SCSI hard disks, and floppy connect to)...

The system cannot find it. It's not the OS... Something could be loose, or I didn't set it up correctly... I have no clue.

Okay, I have a bit of a problem... My server cannot detect my hard drives...

6 X 18.2 GIG Ultra SCSI

There's no error(s) on POST (except for the no hard drive notification), so I'm not sure...

I love Webmin and I highly recommend that anyone would use it... ;)

Hmm, I'm wondering why it will not install. I could try it... ;) But, it probably will not install.


I am a student, but I'm only in High School. Besides, I already own Windows Server 2008... ;)...

I never said they weren't... Some people choose to use them, or not... I'm more of a secure type of guy, so I'll probably use it... ;)

Thanks. ;)

I would honestly like a rock-solid server... So I might just use Debian... Besides, I hear Debian is very nice on servers.


Yeah, I would like at least most of the OS in a GUI... :)

I'm fine...

Saving bandwidth is important... :)


Not really... :) But you can always be secure. ;)


Trust me, my passwords are very secure... :)


I'm going to have to research this one... I haven't...

Hmm. Now I have to pick Ubuntu or Debian...

This is going to be a hard one because Ubuntu is based off Debian...


Yep, I knew the FreeBSD wasn't the friendliest OS out there...

I know you can get pretty much any card working... I'll just search for compatibility before I buy it... ;) I'm typically good with getting wireless working... Not that hard.




Yes, I do know...

Hi Everyone,

I recently got my hands on a HP/Compaq ProLiant DL380 G2 Server... And I can say it's a great server for what I need it for...

I'm looking into running FreeBSD or Linux on it. Both...

By the way, I have all the updated software/drivers. I even tried the pre-release. Something is different in this build of Ubuntu...

Hello everyone,

I've just install Ubuntu 8.10 onto my laptop. I'm going to post the specs of this PC to help all of you out:

Hey Everyone,

I'm not a newbie to Linux at all; but I would like some help with my microphone. I have read threads about my issue, but nothing seems to work. My settings are kind of weird. ...
