I have recently been given a HP Proliant DL385 server, which came with no HDDs. So I bought a new HDD and put it in. All great so far.
My problem comes with I want to install ubuntu on it. The other problem is, there is no optical cd-rom drive/floppy drive.
How would I go about doing this without inserting a ubuntu install disk? Can I do it through some command line interface/network install?
Thanks
Ubuntu can be installed over network
or from a USB stick
This might be helpful. Also, if network install is not an option, maybe you can put the hdd into another machine and install the system there? If you have luck, the it will work when you move the HDD back to the server.

Hi everyone.
I recently purchased a VPS with CentOS 5.3!
However, I want it to run on Ubuntu. How do I convert the system to Ubuntu?
I guess the best you can do is to ask system administrators of the company you purchased your VPS from. They may do it manually and backup data on your VPS you may want to save.
This option also might be accessible on the control panel of you VPS provider.
Reinstalling OS by hand on your VPS may result in a lot of headache and I wouldn't recommend it.
Just install Ubuntu; it doesn't matter what's already installed.
If you have any data on the machine that you care about, back it up first.

In one of my linux box, some program (database archiver process) has consumed all the space available. I am not able to access this box using ssh username# so that I can login to box and do the clean up and fix the rouge process. Could you please let me know how we can connect this box in such scenario.
If it is local machine, unattachment the hard drive and then connect it with another PC then manually remove extra files there.
You will have to login as root.
If you have physical access to the machine, boot a live version of your linux from CD/DVD/USB. From there you can get a root shell, mount the drive, and clean it up.

I am not able to find what the LiveCD means?
Does it mean that I can run the OS on the CD without any installation on the local machine?
A live CD, live DVD, or live disc is a complete bootable computer operating system which runs in the computers memory, rather than loading from the hard disk drive
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_CD
This gives you the ability to try the OS without having to install it

Sometimes my friend give me root access to his CentOS VPS to help him install some programs and he leaves. Sometimes I mess with it, but I don't have the login information for Parallels Virtuozzo Containers, so can I clean the VPS using SSH?
It's faster than formatting the VPS and re-installing the OS.
You could always take a backup before you being work and revert the changes after the face. rsync is one potential tool you could use to do this.
