A dedicated server is an individual machine that is used solely by a single customer. This should not be confused with a virtual dedicated server which uses software to allow multiple customers to control a portion of a machine.

Howto: check free disk capacity
by: Cairn
This is a simple enough task, but one that can shed light on so many issues and save you from urgent scrambles for more disk space.
To check free disk capacity use:
df -h
The -h parameter ensures the results are displayed in MB/GB as opposed to 1k blocks.
Each line representsa separate filesystem device/partition.
Red Nose Day coming up

12 March, 2009
We’re all a buzz around the office as tomorrow’s Red Nose Day 2009 looms. We have promises of home made lunches, games, head shavings, twister and of course the mandatory fancy dress competition for all staff! Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing the Saint Trinians outfits.
If you haven’t already, please give generously to Red Nose Day.
Thanks.
