i want to run DRUSH on a OpenSuse Linux Version 12.1 box 32 bit machine I've heard there are almost no speed and performance issues with this set up? What do i need for the setup and what must i ask my Serveradmin to get. By the way: we have a Server that runs OpenSuse-Linux.

i have a Serveradmin that takes care for the Backend.

Question: What do i need from him - which passwords which things!? Note: currently i have a FileZilla account, that runs on the server. I also have used WINSCP for managing my Drupal and Joomla-sites on the server.

So what do i need to ask the Serveradmin to get now - if i want to run Drush!?

Many thanks for any and all pointers.

Since drush is a command line tool, by definition you need command line (aka 'shell') access to the server. You probably do not need any more than that. I have used the pear install method (see http://drupal.org/project/drush) on shared hosting and it worked.

Like John_B said, you need shell access. That usually means ssh access. Ask for an ssh account and then get an ssh client for your PC.
