[CentOS] Anyone with experience with mini itx and Centos4?
I am looking to buy a small MB with dual NICs, but I woul like them to be supported directly by the stock kernel. I remember that gigabit nics can be a problem. I think this one (http://www.jetway-mini-itx.com/j7f4-j7f4k1g5d.html) uses the RealteK RTL8110SC and if so (https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?forum=45&topic_id=6983&viewm ode=threaded) might still be true. Am I crazy for not using Centos5 or will Centos5 solve all my problems? -jason -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Principal Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333 Baltimore, Maryland 21218 - - - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message is copyright PD Inc, subject to license 20080407P00.
