Whenever google and my head fail me... I shall ask you kind people for help.
Hopefully some people know linux...

Anyways, first question!
How do I find out what distro and version sen's running off of via command line? I want to emulate sen's server locally so I can test things without messing up SEN.

And if you want to save me the effort, tell me if you have any good experiences about any specific dual booting methods / programs.

IM me.

note : use print_r($_SERVER); to get sen's server details (or the server details of the server that the command was run from).

Uh.... pyro.

Moving on... this is what i get with uname -a. Supposedly gives me the kernel version. Or what not. I don't know what the hell it means...
I'm sure it's Red Hat. Dunno the version.

/proc/version

Try that..?

Permission denied.

Ehh... wtf.

Are you root..?

Try sudo /proc/version?

I never used red hat before though.. so just try to log in as root and then do it.

Command not found.
I am logged in as root.

Hmm, not quote right. The command is

cat /proc/version

/proc/version isn't a command, you need to read from it instead (which cat does).

For example, when I type this on my own computer, it displays this:

Linux version 2.4.27-2-386 (horms@tabatha.lab.ultramonkey.org) (gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)) #1 Wed Aug 17 09:33:35 UTC 2005

It doesn't exactly say the version of the distribution, though. However, it may possibly at least give a hint as to what you have, like mine does.

/$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.9-023stab037.3-enterprise (root@rhel4-32) (gcc version 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)) #1 SMP Wed Dec 13 19:46:33 MSK 2006

Apparently centros... 4 or 4.3. Which is like red hat enterprise, from google.

Well, that doesn't seem to imply either specifically, but if it is Red Hat Enterprise Linux you could use CentOS to test out the things you want to test and it should be the same basically.

Linux version 2.6.9-023stab037.3-enterprise (root@rhel4-32) (gcc version 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)) #1 SMP Wed

Uh... do I want the i386 install? Wtf? /noob

Yes, that's for 32 bit processors.
