Re: [PLUG] local source for barrel connectors
I gave up on buying them, just ordered them from Amazon or Ebay, had them the next day, there are a boat load of sellers. Some near enough to get them to you next day with no extra charge. Make sure you get the right pin and barrel dimensions, measure them BOTH. Used to build laser luminaires for glass container inspection machines, used two different sizes for the different voltages on the diodes.

I've also purchased glass labware at a wholesale distributor because there is no local retailer. My experience has been that if it's a one-off sale and not a regular practice they'll accommodate you.

Re: [PLUG] Linux on NUC?
I can confirm linux installs without issue on Intel based NUCs. Much support for most popular linux flavors. Also, you can use HDMI to DVI and or mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters/dongles so you can save costs and keep the same displays. -Alex Original message From: Russell SeniorDate: 8/24/17 10:41 PM (GMT-08:00) To: plug@lists.pdxlinux.org Subject: [PLUG] Linux on NUC?
