I need to get a server to run Postgres, Sun's AS8 and nothing else. I am
favouring Linux and am aiming for a cheap server (around £900 / $1600).
Does anyone have recommendations for a) Hardware and b) Distro. I am
inclined to use Gentoo, but that's only because I'm used to it.

Gentoo, in my opinion, makes a poor production platform. Others have had
success with it, but I would recommend 1 of the big 3 'stable' linux
platforms out there:
* RHES
* SUSE
* Debian
As far as hardware goes, IBM has some nice x86 intro servers that fit
into that price catagory.

I know this is a difficult one to answer, but I am interested in opinions on
what hardware upgrades would be recommended with the following.
Access 2000 running in a split config, but all in Terminal Server. Currently
15 users. This means that all files reside on the server and all processing
happens there. Back-end is currently Access, but it will be upsized to SQL
Server . So for this question assume SQL Server back-end.

is it possible that due to OS crash or mysql itself crash or some e.g.

Also is it possible to not to lose data but get them corrupted?

Hi all,
I was wondering if I could get some experienced opinions on SQL hardware to
run an ERP app on SQL 2000. The app does not yet support SQL 2005. The ERP
app has 25 users and likely won't exceed 30 users for several years. All
traffic is on the LAN. The ERP clients basically submit SQL requests for
reads and writes. The app makes heavy use of temp tables, temp views but
not many stored procedures. The current size of the db is...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
