Yes (Redhat 7.0). Yes, I have full admin rights over this machine and am happy to install any software requried (or give someone the karma to do it as my time is limited) > > >>There are (theoretically) no limits to what we can do with this server >>as at present it only hosts a dozen static sites.

No, it is paid for up until April next year. I would hope to continue paying for it after that, but of course, nothing is written in stone apart from it is definetly there until April 2003. This is not really a commercial server (I do have a half dozen customers on there but that is only to spread the cost), I use it mostly for my research work since the University support staff are far too busy to respond quickly to my requests.
