As someone who tries to get everyone I help off Windows and onto Ubuntu,
I've had to come up with some unusual solutions. For most needs
excluding 3D graphics I'd recommend installing Windows 2000/XP on a

You could always schedule a cron job to restart the sshd every 30 minutes,
if your server is a real worry...
I don't believe killing the daemon aborts active sessions, so it's a fairly
low risk strategy
Odd to have to do it, tho... :-o

Hi
If by that you mean using a console cable plugged directly into the
server (from a laptop or something) then no.
If that's not what you mean, please elaborate, as i would be interested
in a backup remote administration method.
I've just been thinking that i should maybe install vncserver

In essence your issue is that you have no way to get to the command line?
So you don't have a console you can run commands from?
Obviously if you can run commands "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh" would probably do
it, but not really quite sure how you'd restart a daemon without server
access...

Norman,
I _really_ like edubuntu so much that it's become my choice for the desktop at
home. It was great fun to have friends at uni come with their XP laptops
complaining about their speed - and set them up to boot off their network cards
onto my edubuntu server.

Anyone have any idea what to do when sshd has died on your server? I
mean without rebooting...
I have a server in a remote location, i can't connect with ssh, but
other services (VMware server, apache2) are still running and i can
connect to them. I also can connect through ssh to its VM guests. A
the LCDProc and LIRC drivers it mentions? thats the problem. I dont know
what to do with them. Im quite new to ubuntu thats why! if anyone can help
me in that i would appereciate it!
I bought the case for £108 from eclipsecomputers. They have a website!. :)

Hi
I would tend to stick to the Ubuntu laptops with Dell, but in most cases
you are pretty good with any of the brands. I personally use (K)Ubuntu
on a Dell Latitude and a Toshiba (cant remember which one, about 1 year
old). The very first thing you need to look at is the Wireless card -
