    Noob Linux server question

    If I restart a Linux webserver, will all the services restart without the need to logon after reboot - pretty much like a Windows server? I've got an issue where the server is not emailing new customers back their 'Click here to activate' emails. Hence, we've several new customers who cannot...

    Two RS's in Oswaldtwistle this afternoon...

    One was an arctic blue 182 with stripes with private plate and the other a dark blue 172 with large rims and a slightly mahoosive sounding pipe. Anyone off here? D.

    Ubuntu - a good Linux client?

    I've downloaded the v7.04 desktop client with the aim of trying it out on my other PC at home. I'm very new to Linux, so was wondering if Ubuntu was the best option? Any feedback or suggestions, would be great! Cheers, D.

    Oulton Park pics from today - inc. some rally classics

    Well, this weekend should have been the Gold Cup Classic at Oulton Park, with various old cars on there. Some unique eye-candy there, but totally outclassed by the rally cars - absolute motoring p**n, imo.... Metro 6R4... RS200 getting it a bit wrong.... and...

    Possible Babbage pic?

    Made me laugh though...... http://www.hardocp.com/image.html?image=MTE4NzIxMTg5NjZKUlo5U29kNTdfMV8xX2wuanBn Could the life-expectancy of the CPU be measured in seconds? ;) D.

    Mad prof. drives a Trophy.....

    A bloke looking none too disimilar to a certain Mr. Lloyd...... ...seen driving on the M65, eastbound. The Trophy reg started YH55, iirc? He did break 80mph at one point - but eased off before reaching 88mph. Damn. Anyways, the Trophy looked nicer than a De Lorean.....:cool: D.

    '51 silver 172 (with K&N sticker) - M65, Junc. 4

    Spotted it going up the sliproad this afternoon. I was a few cars behind (not in the 182). No CS sticker that I could see, but like I said, there was a K&N one near the Reno badge on the boot. Anyone? D.

    Microfibre fetish?

    Is it wrong for a bloke of 32 to have two carrier-bags full of microfibre?! Had a bit of a tidy-up this morning and I swear that these cloths have been breeding - I don't even remember where half of them came from! Maybe I keep seeing packs of them for sale and forget that I've already got...

    The CDs that come with a Macbook...

    ... are they unique to that Macbook specifically? I.e. - if we lost them, are we shagged? Or would other CDs from other Macbooks reinstall just as well? Haven't lost the originals (as yet!) - but just checking.... Cheers, D.

    '53 172 Cup in Nelson - approx 11.30am

    Anyone off here? On that little slip-road down the side of the Land Rover garage off Junc.12, M65. You were out of the car and heading for the postbox. D.

    Any Cisco router specialists out there?

    Just a little techie question, if there is! We've got quite a few 1841-ADSL routers happily running along with no problems. Yet we have two of the 1841-SDSL versions and both seem to be very busy, even though they are doing little. One supports just three PCs via a VPN and the CPU on the...

    Another Macbook...

    ....... bought for one of the guys here, for home use. Looks superb in black. Went for 2GB memory for it too, so that should be plenty. The Dark Side is forever more tempting...... ;) D.

    172 Cuppa at Renault Bury

    I'm not even sure of the on-screen price, as I've only noticed it from a distance. Just a heads up if anyone was after a Cup in the area? Cheers, D.

    New EBC brakes fitted (inc. some pics)

    Well, after finally getting the rear bearings delivered, and the ABS rings kindly donated by Stevie and fitted to the new rear discs - yesterday had the 182 with some new anchors on. :cool: The actual fitting was mainly down to StevieGreenstuff and me dad. I did a few impressions of looking...

    '04 arctic blue 182 - Heywood, with CS sticker

    ....in the top centre of the rear window. Went past us in a bizarre set of circumstances. We'd just come back from Rochdale and Jain spotted a bloke at the bus-stop with blood pouring from his head. We pulled up around the corner and walked back, by which time another couple in a Focus had...

    '51 plate silver 172 - Whitebirk, Blackburn

    Approx 4pm this afternoon - boot & back seats full of stuff from the looks of it and the car sounded well, when booted! Anyone off here? D.

    Gearbox oil?

    Is it worth changing every couple of years? Is it worth doing at a service interval - say the 36k one? Is it a sod to change in the first place? :) D.

    Lowered 182? '55 plate black gold - Reddish, Stockport

    Spotted it coming the other way through traffic. Only glanced at the plate - could have started YP55, though I'm not sure on that. It was either carrying some weight or it had been lowered too.... ;) Early afternoon today (30/7/07) D.

    RS Alley - or ginnel for us Northerners....!

    Well, it was a great day to clean the car. A bit too good in a way as the sun was really strong. The neighbours were out so it was a good excuse to nick some of the shade on offer... ;) A decent amount of black goldage going on....:cool: However, mine was totally outclassed by...

    182 discs and pads all round. Any suggestions, please?

    Having had it confirmed that my original set of discs and pads have long since seen better days, I was after some suggestions for replacements? I could just reorder original Reno spec parts, but I'm guessing that better spec stuff isn't much more to buy? Any thoughts or ideas would be...

    My first pilot session of a 172 Cup

    I'm doing well this week! :cool: Not only did I get a first drive of Stevie's Ph.1 172, but after finishing work today, but Chris (Chris & Nic) brought his modded 172 Cup around for me to have a go. Apart from the obvious lightening of the car with it being stripped out and fitted with...

    Ph.1 172 - my first drive

    Me likey! :D Just had a brief drive in StevieGreenstuff's 172 and I must say, it's a significant change from my 182. The whole package feels a lot more 'raw' and much more willing to tell you what its doing and what is happening to those wheels up front. The 182 does that also, but it feels a...

    Guess what? A few FCS piccies......!

    My first time down there and I really enjoyed it. As others have said, the weather did a great job of holding off the rain for the most part and generally, things seemed well organised. Apart from getting in the place - which took us nearly an hour, fighting amongst other Frenchie-mobile owners...

    Cambelt change with 36k service?

    Is it a worthwhile idea, or total overkill? Mine will need it's 36k service in the next couple of months and as I plan to stick hold of it for another year - I'm thinking it's another plus-point to the potential buyer at circa 48k and 4 years of age? Just a random thought bouncing around...

    Trophy at my work today (GAP on Shadsworth, Blackburn)

    Anyone? Went out at dinner and when I came back, the nice looking '55 plater was sat in the car park. :cool: Had a nasty scuff on the front bumper :quiet: - but otherwise looked really well. I really do have a soft-spot for Trophy's and its not often I see one. D.

    Microsoft promoting eye-damage?

    My eyes, my eyes!!! :S Click on any of the top-tabs (Download, Product, etc) and see the effect. https://www.microsoft.com/servers/faces/default.aspx Some colouring-in marketing dept. decision has gone a bit wrong there, methinks! D.

    New RS boot badge fitted (inc. pics)

    A combination of liking the new badge and the fact that mine resembled the shape of a banana - made me buy a new RS badge set for my 182. Here's how it went.... Bendy, bendy - didn't look too bad looking down on it, but from the level, it was proper bent. I'm sure that if I threw it, it...
