note that CentOS kernel SRPMs are /not/ the full kernel source, rather,
they are a bunch of patchfiles and scripts that build the kernel from
standard sources a specific way..

for a dedicated production storage server, I would go with Solaris 10.   
unless there's some specific feature/capability you need thats only in
OpenSolaris.

not since the 90s, anyways.  at one time, Dell dimensions used PSUs with 
two wires swapped on the power connector, but they haven't done this in
a long long time.   Their P4 and newer tower systems should hold any 
standard ATX board of the right general size (micro vs mini vs full
sized, depending on the specific chassis).      Dell does like to use 
passive heatsinks powered by 120mm case fans and shrouds, this obviously
won't work if the CPU on the replacement motherboard is in a different
place, but the shroud can be removed, the case fan reversed to exhaust,
and a conventional heatsink/fan cpu cooler used instead.

out of general curiosity, I did some poking around the Nouveau project
wiki.    In short order, I learned..

A) its still highly experimental and very incomplete.

B) it has three components, a 2D driver, a 3D driver, and a kernel
driver.    you need to build all three together for your target OS.

you can't use RPMs built for a different OS distribution, you'd need to
take the SRPM and rebuild/recompile it.

the PSU in your Dimension 2400 (a celeron system with the i845gv
chipset) may not work with a PCI-Express motherboard as they've changed
hte PSU spec to require significantly more +12V than in older ATX
designs.   Also, Dell is fairly notorious for using PSUs that are just 
barely adequate for the system as originally configured.

if you are going to try to upgrade/replace parts in that system, I'd
consider getting a g33 based motherboard (intel dg33tl or equivalent)
with a low end core2 chip such as the e2200, along with 2x1GB ddr2 533
or whatever.     this would give you a system many times faster than the 
celeron 2.4ghz of the original, faster but similar onboard video, etc.   
you may end up needing a new PSU for this, but this combination would
work with a very modest pci-express compatible PSU

fwiw, my current main desktop system is a DG33TL mobo + e8500 cpu +
2x2GB ddr2 800mhz, and its a seriously fast and stable system

i'm quite surprised many such internet cafes would let you run your own
software on their hardware.  many of the 'cafe' systems I've seen are 
booted off the network, or don't have CD drives, or could even be
running Linux already, such as these

I don't know much about GIS software, but I gather that there is an
extensive set of extensions to PostgreSQL known as PostGIS which provide
a very powerful set of primitives for storing and processing large sets
of GIS data.

according to the page linked by the previous writer, =

xxxx.xxxx.sx1.labs.polarion.com would be masqueraded to =

sx1.labs.polarion.com and anything.else.polarion.com would be =

masqueraded to polarion.com

so, for what you're asking, you'd just specify

masquerade_domains =3D polarion.com

k, i wasn't satisfied with my own answer.

thats Via's answer.   they want you to patch the kernel and recompile it.

those are two different chipsets, the CX700M2 is for the C4 family of
ITX mini boards, while hte 82C7xxx stuff is their older northbridges for
desktop systems...  

googling for that, I saw mention that Via has a linux patch for it, and
apparently all it does is add a new PCI vendor/device ID so the existing
drivers recognize the new chip.  you can probably find the CX700M2's PCI 
vendor/device ID with lspci(8)

you have to reboot to load a different kernel, there's no way to avoid that.

does Dreamweaver support WebDAV over HTTPS as an update method?   this 
would be a LOT EASIER to get working behind a firewall!!!!

if they can access your website with https/ssl, and you can get mod_dav
working, you're in business.
