The same is true for Windows and MacOS, by the way. I've seen devices that

releases.
 

Amen. It's gotten considerably better with more recent Linux distributions:
there's plenty of hardware that operates fine under, say, the current
Knoppix or Fedora Core 5 that hasn't a hope in heck of operating under
RedHat 6.x, which I've seen someone insist on using last year.

Actually I'm not sure WHAT I used in the end..laserjet generic ppd, but
CUPS seems to understand bitmaps and text and the like all by itself.

Its probably using ghostscript or summat.

Only got one problem at the moment - its writing off the page edges
slightly even with the command to fit to the size, and the correct (A4)
sheets specified.


In MY day we used to have to WRITE filters and on BSD spoolers you
couldn't do it at all, since remote printers ignore filters anyway.

Sys5 at least meant that we could add in basic pagination type stuff for
text ..

Anyway, with webmin installed, its dead easy to at least keep an eye on
the server without having to telnet in..

Now I need a gift of a script that will allow me to burn a DVD from the
wifes netatalk generated Macintosh backup area. using growisofs.

It worked find on my samba mounted PC stuff, but the MAC files caused
the basic command to barf..

Why do you care about the problems at all if you don't have root
permissions? It doesn't seem you job at all?

hosts seems to not be used by the resolver

Then you haven't looked into SSH. SSH does forward and reverse DNS lookups,
to verify that the host claiming to be "sshclient.whatever.com" and which is
permitted to do key-based or host-based access is really, really the host
expected, and so that connections can be logged with the appropriate
hostname so you can tell where someone was connecting from. This is
especially useful in dynamic DNS setups, like Windows machines in Active
Directory and Linux boxes that register their hostnames in active DNS, so
that connections from "mylaptop.whatever.com" are listed as actually coming
from that hostname, not just the DNS.

You can't rely on that in /etc/hosts: /etc/hosts is a serious legacy of when
DNS was awkward and painful to set up, and it was easier to simply publish
an /etc/hosts for your local network than to use a DNS server. These days,
it's easy to run an internal DNS server that handles this sort of thing for
you and avoids the conflicts. It's often done by using "views", that provide
one set of A records for internal use and another set for external or DMZ
use.

You don't precise if it is a DL380, DL380 G1, ...etc...

For Example for the G5 you need RedHat 3 update 6..

If this not your problem, can you specify what is your ethernet card ?

Similar problems. You need to pick a distribution that suits your needs.
That can be set by local politics, available licenses, and available
resources: we don't have a chance in hell of giving you good advice without
a lot more details, but I'm sure folk here would be willing to help. Heck,
some of us do consulting on exactly this sort of thing (like me! I've got a
month before leaving for England, if you need some professional level help.)
 

Related to above. I'm very fond of setting up a good DHCP, PXE, kickstart or
tarball installer setup and YUM to manage RPM packages, with Nagios to
monitor system states, MRTG to monitor traffic, and local configurations as
necessary.
 

Depends on what you want to do. I like Torque, available at
http://www.clusterresources.com/pages/products/torque-resource-manager.php.
I actually wrote and published RPM's for it, some time ago, at an old
jobsite. They're still available at
http://www.merl.com/people/nkadel/torque/, although those are pretty out of
date.
