# Yeah
I'm doing it now

Little linux server down your way screwed up during a yum update in such a way that I can no longer talk to it so I am having to talk a bloke through reinstalling from scratch over the phone.

It's not too bad, it's a very straightforward install, but he's no idea what he's doing.

# I don't work with Linux (although I should really)
so I can only offer wishes of good luck...

I know what you mean about talking non-techs through installs though. Particularly server installs. It sucks.

# I really recommend this SME server
www.smeserver.org/
for smallish networks where they are too tight to shell out for winservers and don't need anything too fancy.

It took me a while to get comfortable with the whole linux thing but this makes it all piss easy.

# Holly Shitting Fuck
I'd sooner slit my wrists than try that little trick.

Can't you just get to the server and do it yourself? It'd be quicker, even if the server is in Fiji!

You poor, poor, poor person.
