Compaq -- Environment Innovation
Compaq was founded in 1892 with a portable PC which known as "suitcase computer" back in those days. The term might not sound that portable but this product is the originator of what we call laptops today. In 1986 Compaq came out with its first PC based on Intel's microprocessor and surpassed IBM which was the world known leader of that time. After this it launched Deskpro and Systempro. The company made its first market appearance as a retail brand in 1990. By 1998 Compaq became second largest computer maker in the world. Since then the brand is prospering, and the result is what we have in front of us today. After its merger with HP the CPQ is now HPQ denoting brand HP Compaq.

HP Compaq is within battle with PC giants such as Dell, Acer, Lenovo and Toshiba. After being trashed of the race by Compaq's affordable range of PC's it seems IBM is back on the right track after its PC segment was purchased by Lenovo.

How to boot compaq proliant dl360 server from a cd?
i don't think it has this option? any advice?
Well, in my digging I found this how-to for getting Linux on it... from a guy who decided that after he got to know how to use it, he liked it...

One of the main keys to the whole deal, is the SmartStart CD, which is a BIOS on a CD deal. He gives this link in his article

Now, his link to the manual is corrupted, but I did find these two manuals at HP, one for the 1ghz model, and one for the slower model

... but both walk you through setting up the server.
I think that all this *should* contain the information you need... but let me know if I need to dig into this further for you.
