Re:Na Servus!
"Servus!" is a common greeting in Bavaria, in the south of Germany (and in parts of Austria). You may also hear "Gruss Gott!" there. Both of these are very southern expressions, and unless you are learning German with a southern accent or you are in the areas where they are used, it's enough to know that they exist. (The greeting is originally from Latin.) The expression "Na,..." is commonly used in speech, but in this case it doesn't have any special meaning: it's a bit like: "Well then,..." in English.
