In about 2 hours I'm going to be the owner of a real server. It's one that used to be used for an entire high school (bought it used) . I've never even touched an actual server before, closest thing I did was use an old Win98 set up with file sharing to store crap on.
But I have no f-ing clue how to use it
How the heck do I set it up to connect and manage it from my laptop? Its got no kind of ports to speak of other than an Ethernet port and a strange looking serial-type port. I think it *might* still have all the files and everything on it, I have to wipe it out. I know i could try to connect to it through a crossover cable. but don't i need to know its IP adress for it?
