I need some help with traslating this part of a sentence: 'Operators hope data services will catch on as 2.5G networks roll out this year.'
What do the phrases 'catch on' and 'roll out' mean here?
Catch on = will become popular. Will be used by the people.
Roll out = introduced to the market. The product is presented to the people.
Aha, I've got it! Thanks a lot
Could you explain me the meaning of another one sentence, please?
"The winning entry was clocked on an SGI 1450 server 7.2 is due to ship on June 8..."

Т.е. победитель (db2 , а не мелкомягкий скл ) был запущен на sgi1450. А поставки db2 7.2 ожидаются 8 июня.
Вот оно всё как на самом деле... Нда, погуглить-то я и не догадалась. Спасибо, вы меня ужасно выручили!
I have one more question!
"It used to be that email was just one of the many jobs that a general-purpose server handled at an installation"
How would you translate the phrase 'at an installation'? What is the meaning of the preposition 'at' in this case?
It's just saying the location where the server is -- an office building, for instance. It's NOT the installation process -- ie loading the software. I think you'd just use your prepositional в/на in Russian.Quote:
