Once I get my laptop under control again, I'll want to start working on my server. I've leased some rack space, but it has RedHat on it. I prefer Debian. I'm totally fine installing Debian, however, I've never done it remotely. I was wondering if I could bribe anyone(s) to give me a hand with this.
You could come over to St. Christopher House at the corner of Dundas & Ossington where we need to figure out the same thing and we could all learn together.
We've got a donation of a Netfinity 5500 server that we will be installing Debian on this week. It's in a location we can't always access, so I was planning to boot with Knoppix and then do a debrootstrap install at our leisure over SSH. So, if you or anyone else wants to come around and check out the Linux excitement, this week is probably a good time to check out the program since we're having a Christmas party Wednesday starting at 5:30.
Gee, I would like to see how to do a remote installation, but I cannot make the party. If you have any other working sessions I could evesdrop on, I would like to try to fit them in.

Maybe later in the week would be better. Our PHP group meetings Thursday evening but I don't attend that so people who want to work on the server could meet also. The general plan is to set this beast with up RAID on the 6 (or is it 8 !?) SCSI harddrives using an server-specific IBM utility and then do a debrootstrap intallation as in: http://trilldev.sourceforge.net/files/remotedeb.html and http://twiki.iwethey.org/Main/DebianChrootInstall Can anyone who wants to help out post a preferance for Thursday or Friday? The party's on for Wednesday (6, not 5:30) so you can come by introduce yourself, and meet Santa, but that won't be a seriously techie event, obviously. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
