New Linux Server
Hi, I am looking for help with regard to a Linux server. The company I work for is looking for a new server, and I am considering switching to Linux. However, my Linux experirence is limited to my personal computer, so I am trying to find out as much information about servers as I can. Can anyone recommend somewhere to find this info? I want to know what a Linux server can do for me, more specifically; can an SQL server be installed, and be accessed in the same way, and are there alternative Linux tools to Windows tools such as Exchange Server and Sharpoint Server? We have been recommended to look at Microsoft's Office 365, is there an alternative? Sorry for my ignorance about servers, any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

bootpc
BOOTPC(8) Debian GNU/Linux Manual BOOTPC(8)
NAME
bootpc - bootp client
SYNOPSIS
bootpc [--bootfile file] [--dev device] [--verbose] [--debug] [--server addr] [--hwaddr addr] [--returniffail] [--waitformore length]
[--in2host addr] [--serverbcast] [--help]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the bootpc command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used
by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.
bootpc is a boot protocol client used to grab the machine's IP address, set up DNS nameservers and other useful information.
OPTIONS
--bootfile file
Tell the server to use file as the boot file.
--dev device
Use device to communicate with the server.
--verbose
Be verbose.
--debug
Produce debugging output.
--server addr
Use the IP address addr to communicate with the server.
--hwaddr addr
Use addr as our hardware address rather than what the operating system gives us.
--returniffail
Terminate the program if a failure occurs. By default bootpc will ask the user to press a key if the request did not succeed.
--waitformore length
Wait for more responses when one is received. bootpc will wait for at most length seconds. This is probably only useful for debug-
ging.
--in2host addr
Takes an address and returns useful bits of the name after lookup, this was a separate program, but it is more compact to have both
together.
--serverbcast
Tell the server to send back a broadcast reply. This is necessary on Linux 2.1 and 2.2.
--help Display the usage of bootpc.
