Thanks for the 'nitpicky pedantry', I generally learn from these threads.
This is from distant memory. Sbin means system binaries, implying that they are
for sysadmins not for (l)users. The sysadmin can explore sbin utilities more
easily when they are in a separate directory. Also, when
How are dvd's for archiving photos? I have been betting on them. They would not

You would be doing the change to extended for one of the partitions using fdisk
or similar? Yes, risky, but the risk is all in your fingers. Can you practice

IBM / Lenovo is supposedly supported by Redhat. Dell is a good bet too. Google
would find you better info than this email list.
But as Peter says, Ubuntu has a much better UI. Redhat is focussed on
reliability, virtualization and enterprise server systems.

Of course you would do a backup before monkeying with it.
Google "mediawiki delete old revisions" to find relevant extensions and
features.

And you can point at a box, say 'how much is that with 4g ram and 160g disk',
watch the bios at boot, and hand over a few 20's. You are taking a bit of a

Yes, they recycle or resell electronics. All sorts of stuff. And if you are

$200. Some servers are for sale too. Or a Playbook 32 anyone?

You could google 'windows update troubleshooter' and try microsoft's tool.
Microsoft used to save some identifiers from your system such as MAC and hd

they do that in a VM?

Could it be the NIC giving you trouble? It would need to support
PXEboot. If so, you would just add a PCI NIC. But the onboard LAN should
