I have a Dell Poweredge 2550 server with 5 hard drives, only one of which I have not had trouble with.?

I want to know which distro of Linux I should load on it. I have tried openSUSE live CD, Ubuntu 7.10 live CD, Fedora Core live cd, and the Ubuntu 6.04 Dapper Drake LTS live CD which is the only one that worked. The ubuntu server 7.10 froze at 21 percent twice with 2 different downloads and cd’s, and so did the Ubuntu 7.10 alternate. I am currently trying the opensuse non live cd. I just want to use it as a file server and to browse the web and stuff like that. It has 2 933mhz prosessors, and 1 gb of memory. Thanks in advance!

How do i turn an inactive partition into active using linux?

okay i tried to install linux but forgot about the extra partition i need to make for the swap file.i wanted to dual boot xp and linux ubuntu.so when i tried to boot back into xp it said that there was a problem with the operating system (os) and im guessing its because i deactivated the partition where xp is located and set to active the linux one (i havent installed linux im stll on the live cd but dont want to install it until i make and extra partition for the swap file). so my question is how can i set active the partition where i have xp using the linux live cd. or do i need to install ubuntu and forget about the swap file?any help is appreciated

Linux Question?

Basicaly my question is if I boot Linux from a live cd (Ubuntu) could I download a file from bittorent onto my hardrive so i could access it from windows. If so tell me how. My laptop can’t use ethernet so I have to boot linux from a cd to use the internet. Please help. But if you could find me a drive so I could use ethernet connections that would be good too.

Can’t boot from Linux Ubuntu Live CD, HELP!?

Hi I’ve recently downloaded a 7.10 version of the Ubuntu. I burned the ~700 MB of ISO file to a CD. Is that right, the CD only contains 1 file –> the ISO file.

So I don’t have to do anything with the single file?

The problem is that it doesn’t boot from CD-ROM when I restart my Laptop (Compaq Presario). I did change the Boot Order from my BIOS. Where could i have gone wrong? Please help! thanks!
