Access To Server

How can i access my server from my computer?I am using Fedora Core 8.If I access the server can i change some of its settings?
Is this is true that bu using this command (rm-rf) our file system will be formatted?

It depends. The easiest way is with SSH. Yes, you can then change whatever you like, as if you where sitting behind the machine itself. I take it you have root on your server.
On a related note, if you allow access to your server from remote locations over SSH, then be sure to disallow root logins for the machine. You can do that by editing /etc/ssh/sshd_conf and restarting the daemon. You can still change to root once you're in.

Nope. rm-rf does nothing (syntax error). rm -rf on the other hand deletes without prompting everything in the current and underlying directories. It's the equivalent of deltree in DOS.Running it while unsure of it's effect is a Bad Idea(TM). Running it as root is even worst.

But, as said, it's not formatting anything. It's deleting. You are probably looking for the mk[filesystemname]fs commands, such as mkreiserfs or mk2fs.
