How do you determine the best Linux server distro is for a company? Or are they all mostly the same?
I'm a networking student, and I have you deside what Server OS is the best. Although, I am unsure what to look for expectly when it comes to linux. Any pointers?
It depends entirely on what the server is expected to do.
If you are looking for a stable and secure platform for services that are to be exposed to the internet you may choose one platform, if you are looking for something that easily integrates with a windows environment and has lots of pretty widgets for administration you may choose another.
A great deal of it comes down to the personal taste of the administrator, what type of package management system (RPM, Deb, Pkg, etc) he prefers, and what type of start up scripts\directory structures he's confortable with.
Ultimately most of the major linux distributions have something unique and desirable to offer (otherwise they wouldn't be around for too long).
One other thing that may influence the decision is the need for commercial applications, you are more likely to use one of the "big box" flavors if you need Oracle or other business software support.
Finally, it depends on the size of the support staff at the company in question and how heavily they will need to lean on the support (or lack thereof) provided by the software distributor.
How do I change from Windows to Linux server?
I got the free godaddy hosting for my domain i purchased with them. I made a mistake by choosing Windows as its operating system server, and now I want Linux.
Is there a way I can change it to Linux without getting a new host etc?Thanks!
I doubt you have any good reason to switch (i.e. someone said you should but you don't understand why). I doubt you know what would happen if you switched. I also doubt you asked godaddy how to do it.
How to copy file between 2 linux server conveniently?
Usually I use winSCP to copy file between windows server to linuxserver (viceversa), is there such tools that could be used to copy files between 2 linux server ?

How do I learn the version of Linux that a server is running?
There's a RedHat Linux server, and I need to find out the version number of RedHat that runs on it. I can ssh to it, and do not want to use X-Win as it is so slow.
I know Windows has "ver" command that does just that; is there something like that in Linux?
cat /etc/redhat-release
or
uname -r will give you the kernel version
What are server load averages messaged in on linux servers?
If you get server loads in linux they are decimal numbers ... 0.10, 0.80 etc ... what measurement is this? Is this percentage? 100 being top ?
System load averages is the average number of processes that are either in a runnable or uninterruptable state. A process in a runnable state is either using the CPU or waiting to use the CPU.
My system has 1 CPU so 1.00 means the CPU is busy 100% of the time. That actually isnt all that bothersome. But a 2.00 means that there is a line wating to use the CPU (I can feel some lag). And a 6.00 means that something better finish what its doing to hog the system because people will complain soon
How do I add an IP address to a linux server?
Its for a website in the server, just need to add an IP and its been awhile since I touched a linux server. Do I need to map it to one of the NICs?
This is a quick guide on adding IPs to a system manually. I would only suggest it if you are not using a control panel, such as cpanel, that has a feature to adds ips. If your main ethernet device is eth1 instead of eth0 simply substitute eth1 for eth0. Other then that should be pretty simple to follow, this should work on any standard redhat/centos based system.
Login as root then do the following to add a new ip address to any linux redhat based system. If you have cpanel there is a nice little ip management script that just lets you do it via WHM. For those without cpanel do the following:
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
Then as a usual precaution I would make a backup of the file
cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth0.bak
(you wont need to do anything with the backup)
Then copy the config for your new IP
cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-eth0:1
Then we need to edit the new config
pico -w ifcfg-eth0:1
The lines you need to change:
DEVICE="eth0"
to
DEVICE="eth0:1"
Then change the
IPADDR="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
to be your NEW ip address (it will have your primary ip listed)
Once this is done, press CTRL + X
then press Y and
