Thanks again.
This new server that's coming my way has 2, Giga NICs, and I would add a
third, 100 MB NIC to reach out to the WAN. I thought it would be great to
connect each Giga NICs to a separate switch which corresponds to a
classroom. First, does this setup work (couldn't find it on the
I find I'm not using the server kernel which surprises me--isn't that
the one that the 'alternate CD' used? Shouldn't that be the standard
install for a thin client server using Edubuntu?
So, how do I go about installing this kernel? I used the link that
Alkis provided and I could
It's actually really easy to install a kernel if you use the repositories.
dpkg adds your kernel to the list of available kernels so if for any reason
you have trouble you can simply use grub to boot into your old kernel.
Among all package installations a new kernel is among the safest since
Thanks Ekul. I didn't really understand what you meant by the dpkg so
didn't go with that but did understand the sudo aptitude part :) So I did
this, it installed, I rebooted and checked:
dgr...@gcos2:~$ uname -r
2.6.28-18-server
Which doesn't have the -pae in the name. Any ideas?

That's strange it didn't select the pae kernel. In that case install the
linux-generic-pae package.
sudo aptitude install linux-generic-pae

It looks like what has happened is the package names have changed from
jaunty to karmic. I don't see a -pae package in jaunty but it exists in
karmic. And in karmic linux-server is a metapackage for the -pae kernel.
Use the free -m command to check and see if ubuntu is seeing more then 4 GB

If you have more than 4 Gb RAM on your server, you can just install the
linux-server kernel to
Confusion compounds...
the one thing I might have understood...
If you install this kernel in Jaunty/Karmic, then you can access more
than 4 Gb of RAM while having 32 bit systems/OS:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/linux-server
So you can do that either in the old or the new server.
The 32/64 bit question is very complicated. Hopefully I can help.
Any AMD Opteron or Intel Xeon server made in the past few years has support
for running 32 bit and 64 bit code (even at the same time). So you could
clone your existing server and it would work fine but you might not be able
to
Thanks Ekul for the further info, I get it now. I think I'll use solution
#1 below--sounds like it is doable and will help out with what I need for
these last couple of months of school then over summer power-up with a new
Lucid install. I'm pretty sure I'm currently using the server install.
Run
uname -r
which will tell you the specific build of the kernel you are running. If
the PAE kernel is in use it will have -pae in the name. if you don't see
that you'll need to install the linux-server package.
You can also run free -m as a check to ensure all your ram is being
addressed.
Hi All
I've got a promise of a new 64 bit server (well, new for me). And, I'd like
to be using it ASAP to better run 2 classes off the same server.
I'm assuming that, since this new server is 64 bit I can't clone my current
32 bit server on to it so I will have to install a new server on it.
be my
recommendation.
