I recently purchased a Dell PowerEdge 6350 on craigslist without any drives, I currently have 4 68-pin SCSI drives and was searching for an adapter (6350 has the 80-pin connectors). I am able to find tons of 80-pin --> 68-pin but nothing the other way around, am I screwed? is there no way for...

I used to visit bsdforums.org back in the day quite a bit but the site seems to be down at the moment... They always had a really good support base but maybe forums.freebsd.org are taking over?

VMware does not have OS's preinstalled but they do have pre-packaged OS's available, they call them 'Virtual Appliances' right on the front page of vmware.com ESX and ESXi do have a very small footprint indeed

When setting up the VM you have choices of hardware and the for the NIC you can choose to either have it NAT, Bridge, or Host (this based on the actual hardware that you have running on). NAT will do what it says, but how I have them set up is by Bridge mode, that way they can have its own IP...

ESX and ESXi are embedded, where VMware Server runs on top of an existing OS. What my thinking was when setting this up was, what can I do free, yet still rock solid. I haven't been spammed or anything from VMWare (that I know of). I find the best way to understand VMware is to actually use it...

The 4 VM's that I have are FreeBSD, Server 2003, Debian stable, and Ubuntu Server (for testing mostly, in fact it is almost never on). Everything has been running for quite some time, the only issue I had was...

Is this one of those qnap or readynas type products? Do you know the specs of this system and what kind of load it can handle? It sounds to me that it may be in the companies best interest to hire a Linux guy for a month contract or longer if you plan on sticking with the Linux/Unix systems...

Sorry I meant how many processors does the BIOS show?

What is the BIOS showing?

FYI, CentOS can be used instead of RHEL. CentOS is RHEL with the propriotary stuff stripped out, its the same distro with slightly different looks, but all the files will be in the same place so the documentation linked above with centos.org cd's will be a great DNS/DHCP server. Ubuntu is...

Well I know when this came out at first there was an issue that ebay stopped working with it, but it is easy to disable the dongle, they just send you an email and have you go through some hoops and such, its not like they are going to disable your account because you lost/damaged the dongle...

I have a key-phob (spelling? fob?) for my paypal account, it was only $5 directly from paypal and works with openID and something else that I can't remember at this moment, maybe it would be a good idea to look into that

I used FreeNAS for over a year and loved it, even has itunes support. I am using Ubuntu 8.04 Server LTS now but that is because I wanted to use vmware

I thank you all who replied, I found my issue, it was on R3, complete user error, there was a config set on the interface, removed everything and started from scratch, works perfectly
