Happy Birthday Timo! (up now for thirty days straight)

Timo is a Sun SPARC10 that I bought from a student for 300 EUR
(including a large monitor that I didn't really want) and which 
began a new life as a "catch-all and practice" server running Linux
SuSE 7.3. Because Timo is "genetically" a SPARC, I ended up compiling
Apache with PHP myself, learning how to use CPAN (the automated 
facility for installing addional Perl modules, and much more. This
was a wonderful learning process.

Timo has a slow (but RISC!) processor, fairly fast SCSI drives and 
is now serving photographs (1600+) using a PHP-based program 
(Gallery) as well as static webpages that have no other home.
