I'm a newbie to Linux, and have what is probably a straight forward question.
How can you tell what verison of a given software package is running if you don't use a package manager (like RPM) to install it? I've installed OpenSSH using a tarball, and I want to be able to produce something for...
We're laying the groundwork for upgrading the AC unit for our computer room. I'm trying to find heat dispersion information for our servers, with no luck. I can't find the info on any exposed surface of the servers, in any documentation we got, or on Dell's website. I've got a calculation...
I have been asked to install Suse 9.1 Pro on a Dell Optiplex SX280. The OS goes on fine, but the NIC isn't detected (it's a Broadcom NetXtreme 5700 built-in). I went to Broadcom's website and got the source rpm for the linux driver for this card, but I'm getting an error when I try to run...

Today I had to restore a file off of the tape copy for the first time. I was expecting...
We're running BAB 11 on a Dell PowerEdge NAS and tape backup. I have two backup rotations defined, one for user data and one for images, both scheduled to run Tues. - Fri. am (differential) with a full backup on Saturday. (The jobs are set to run 6 hours apart, so there's no conflict with the...
We are using Arcserve 11 and a Dell Powervault to perform backups to "virtual tapes" (directories), then performing a tape-to-tape copy to put the backup onto actual tapes.
I'm not forcing compression on the virtual tape (something I may institute soon). As a result, the tape to tape copy is...
I'm new to Arcserve, so I'm not sure this is possible...
We are using Arserve 11 for Windows to back up image files. The files are located on 3 different servers. We've set up a backup rotation consisting of a full backup on Saturday and differential backups Tuesday morning through Friday...
