Hi, I woke up Saturday morning unable to boot my freshly upgraded 5.6 with grub hanging at "GRUB". After getting the boot loader fixed I experienced crashes in evolution.

...e it has to be tied into a single sign on solution(that uses secure cookies), an application that I''ve inherited absolutely requires that all requests go over secure http.

2 April 2009 My name is Martin Streicher. I am pleased to announce three new publications dedicated to web developers.

Hi all, I downloaded latest CentOS 5.5 DVD i386 image from one of FTP's in a list. I've burned that image to DVD and created new DVD to use for fresh installations. Now when I install fresh CentOS 5.5 (in VM) I am getting info that there are 50 packages updates.

"The upstream maintainer of yum, Seth Vidal, had the following to say about 'yum priorities' in September 2009: Gosh, I hope people do not set up yum priorities. There are so many things about priorities that make me cringe all over. It could just be that it reminds me of apt 'pinning' and that makes me want to hurl." This note was placed on the wiki

In another thread on this list, various wild allegations have been made, relating to the New York Times article on R. I object both to the subject line and to the content of several of the messages, and will not repeat or quote any of that content. It smacks to me of mischief making. Discussion has centered around the following quote from the NY Times article: ?According to them, the
