New Responsibility New Problems

I got a new responsibility. There is a Server called Tux. It is on which our ragam , tathva and some other websites are hosted. Handed over the root password from aswin the previous admin.

Even though it is a 'server' the machine is an old one running on Deabian 3.x version. I think aswin didn't play with that system for long. Other wise he may have replaced OS. He might be busy.

I found the system has got a high speed internet. So browsing in it has been easy.
I went to browse looked at couple of conf files and that all

On the second i made the system horrible.

The system had only Mozilla installed on it. I want to install firefox. I use the debian apt-get tool. It replaced many gnome and kde files but failed to install firefox !!!!. I felt something. Actually four websites are running inside this server and if any harm done I will have to answer many phone calls.

I restarted the machine stuck with command line. The X is continuously restarting ; problem with gdm. I uninstalled gdm installed xdm somehow solved the problem. 5 hours is all that took for making the system at least usuable.

I think I have to install it with some new OS soon.
