UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Ok allow me to give you background first, I never worked with Unix before and the company that i work for has TWO unix boxes. I didn't even know we had them until yesterday evening when one of them crashed. I do the networking and PC support here but not for the Unix boxes. I'm hoping if I type up some of the error message someone here can help to guide me to repairing this box.

Thanks for any help...

Your diskdrive looks like it is out of space.

What OS and platform is this?

See these links:

1. What are traps, interrupts, and exceptions?
2. What caused my computer to panic with trap type 0x0000000E?
3. Trap 0x0000000E

This is cool, link 1 contains a link to link 2. And link 2 contains a link to link 3. And link 3 contains a link back to link 1. I wonder which link came first?

Oh it got worse, after a reboot, it got to Verifying DMI Pool data.... and stopped there.. I think the hardware issues started. So now its sitting here, and I'm going to have to ship it out to the company that supplied it, since its now hardware problems.

thank you for the replies guys, maybe when it returns I'll have a better understanding and I best learn unix!
