Our fileserver is running an ancient version of Debian:(Linux zebra 2.4.18-bf2.4 #1 Son Apr 14 09:53:28 CEST 2002 i586 unknown).
This doesn't actually tell us which version of debian it is, but from a guess as to how old that kernel is, and that it ends in bf2.4, I'd say that it's either woody or sarge.
What's the contents of the /etc/debian_version file? ;)
I thought however it would be nice to try and install geneweb on it (if indeed this package is available for this ancient Debian). However when I try to do an apt-get I receive an error message saying that MMap has run out of room. I am a bit confused as there is about 4GB spare in /.
MMap is memory allocation, not disk space - add the following like to /etc/apt/apt.conf (create the file if it doesn't exist):
APT::Cache-Limit "20000000";
And that should get it working. Other than serving files, does that machine do anything? It might be worth setting aside a (few) hours to upgrade it to a recent version of debian.
