'Virtual Private Servers' - Advice, recollections and recommendations requested

Thru no fault of my own, I've been given a possible budget for a server - this is for a small decentralized non-profit that is still paper driven, and has been for decades. Over the years, each branch has kind of grown it's own record keeping system, and currently some are using OpenOffice, Lotus,

KDE messed up after dist-upgrade

Hello, I did my daily apt-get upgrade a couple of days ago, and I noticed there were a whole bunch of packages being held, most of them kde. Trying a couple of them by hand revealed they were in conflict with other packages that needed to be removed and whatnot. So I did a dist-upgrade. Now I

Debian and Fedora on one drive?

Hi. I recently bought a 40 GB Maxtor and loaded Fedora onto the first 20 GB, leaving 20 GB free. Fedora was working O.K. so I loaded Debian Sarge onto the free 20 GB. During the Debian install Grub wanted to know where to be put (out of 3 options) and I chose the MBR. I was hoping it wouldn't hap
