Server OS
by Kris Douglas
Hi, I have been working with servers running Linux for a while now and I
have come to fond that it is the best OS to do that job, but my question
is....
...What is the best, lightweight (64mb ram, 233mhz x2, 4gb of hdd) Linux
server OS out there?
Any ideas anyone?

SuSE update servers?
by Kevanf1
Finally, after about 12 months or possible more, I am able to use my
beloved SuSE again :-) However, in the past I have always found that
I had a selection of update servers to choose from. It seems that
with 10.2 I'm stuck with one...which is constantly timing out :-( So,
does anybody have any other update server addresses other than the
'Chemnitz' one for SuSE 10.2 ?

PC Screws
by Frank Mitchell
You guys are really helpful. Now can anybody tell me a good place around Stoke where I can buy those little PC Screws? Wilko and B&Q don't sell them, at least not in Crewe. Though you can mail-order bags of them from Radiospares.
Research reveals these screws are typically Pan-Head Machine Screws, and there are two main types:
Case screws are 6-32 (six gauge wire with 32 threads per inch) American National Coarse Thread (UNC) using English Units. Case screws are 1/4-inch long while the similar Hard Drive screws can be 3/16-inch long.
But CD-Rom screws are the finer Metric Standard M3x0.5 (3 mm wire with a 0.5 mm thread pitch) 5-mm or maybe 4-mm long.
