Hello ALUG,
I'm running Debian on my server.
Does anyone know if there's a way of established what my RAM upgrade options are (i.e. slots and speeds, rather than $ free -m) without switching the machine off?
Cheers, Richard

If it's a shop bought machine of doom, try looking it up on http://www.kingston.com/ which lists nearly everything... otherwise, look in the motherboard manual (you have got one, right? It might be on the CD that came with the machine, Packard Bell used to do that a lot), failing those 2, you could carefully take the case off while leaving it running, and then take a glance, though most memory looks fairly much the same, probably best to find the motherboard name and google for an online manual or similar.
Hope that helps,

We were just kicking around a few ideas on IRC, you can try
apt-get install dmidecode
and then looking at the output of dmidecode, homepage here http://www.nongnu.org/dmidecode/
For actually buying the RAM I would suggest http://www.crucial.com/uk

Ah, now available in Sarge (testing) but not Woody (stable).
Ta!
