Since caps are now made in China, 5 years is asking a lot on a motherboard. The chinese still make cheap junk. Unfortunately, people only want to pay for cheap junk, so I don't even know where one can buy quality caps, at any price let alone competitive.
Where do builders of communications satellites and space probes get their caps? Some of those probes have been functioning for decades, all the while bombarded by intense radiation.
I did update the house server to Slackware 14 64 bit, but only because it was going down for replacement anyway.
I've never tried Slackware. Looking at the Web site, I see references to XFree86; are they still using that?
I can't see that they have any package manager like yum or apt. I imagine that means I'd have to install everything from source, no?
