  1. Thanks for a great setup. I've been wanting to setup a small XAMP server at home but didn't really want a PC running all the time. I've now got US running on a Wyse Winterm XP embedded thin client. Low power, no fan noise and it fits on a bookshelf. What more could you want? For anyone interested, the only probem I came across was the absence of a NULL device for Apache. US would crash on startup. The Apache error log showed "Unable to connect child stdout to NUL." After some searching I found an easy way to install. Here are the instructions for anyone interested. Need to have administrative permissions on system! 1. Copy null.sys from a Windows XP PC (c:\windows\system32\drivers\null.sys) to the same location on the thin client. 2. Open regedit to: HKLM-System-CurrentControlSet-Enum Change permissions on Root to Administrator - Full control 3. Create key HKLM-System-CurrentControlSet-Enum-Root-LEGACY_NULL 4. Save registry info below as NullDriverRegistry.reg (copy everything between the asterisk lines and paste into notepad) and add to registry 5. Should merge successfully. Reboot. 6. To confirm it worked, go to Device Manager, select Show hidden devices from the View menu. Open Non-Plug and Play drivers and find Null. Double-click and make sure the status say "This device is working properly." *************NullDriver.reg******************* Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{8ECC055D-047F-11D1-A537-0000F8753ED1}] "Class"="LegacyDriver" @="Non-Plug and Play Drivers" "NoDisplayClass"="1" "SilentInstall"="1" "NoInstallClass"="1" "EnumPropPages32"="SysSetup.Dll,LegacyDriverPropPageProvider" "Icon"="-19" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_NULL] "NextInstance"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_NULL\0000] "Service"="Null" "Legacy"=dword:00000001 "ConfigFlags"=dword:00000020 "Class"="LegacyDriver" "ClassGUID"="{8ECC055D-047F-11D1-A537-0000F8753ED1}" "DeviceDesc"="Null" "Capabilities"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_NULL\0000\LogConf] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_NULL\0000\Control] "ActiveService"="Null" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Null] "ErrorControl"=dword:00000001 "Group"="Base" "Start"=dword:00000001 "Tag"=dword:00000001 "Type"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Null\Enum] "0"="Root\\LEGACY_NULL\\0000" "Count"=dword:00000001 "NextInstance"=dword:00000001 ***************************************************
