If Linux try the following commands as root:
Show logged in users:
who
Show users who logged in previously
last
Show home directories
ls -l /home
Show processor info
cat /proc/cpuinfo
Show memory info
cat /proc/meminfo
Show running processes
top q to quit
Show mounted volumes
mount
That should give you some clues as to what is going on with the box / if it is the same spec as you requested.
Obviously best to run those commands as root especially if you want to see the home directories.
You can under the admin look at the whole server same as your computer as a server is nothing more than a bigger computer.
If you know how to work around in a computer then you should have no trouble checking out the servers confirgration to see other users etc and how it is partitioned off.
Posted at the same time you did. So will respond to it in this post.
A fairly simple way for me and I am no expert by any means is check your hard drive.
Under the administrator remote check out "my computer" and see what is available to you. If your truly dedicated you will have the whole drive available to you for use.
