I suggest that we shouldn't use euphemisms when it's far more valuable to come out and say it. I would certainly appreciate if the centos docs explicitly tagged the other repos with these comments. Factual commentary about risks does not come anywhere close to libel... regards, mark hahn.

Question about "HB" flag and a "battery.charge.high" name
...Remaining battery level when UPS switches to LB (percent)", there is no counterpart as `battery.charge.high`. First I thought one could be just added... but for that matter, what could one logically mean - an overcharge (as in, "possibly harmful to the chemistry of the cells")? Or an euphemism(*) for being "well charged" (maybe not 100% if the device hovers at some 85%-95% to extend battery life)? (*) Recent work in usbhid-ups dealt with optional "OL+DISCHRG" warning throttling for known-hovering devices using a custom option; if the "euphemism" above is...

Bug in Sweave? -- scoping problem? (PR#8615)
I have found a strange scoping problem in Sweave. The following Rnw file doesn't produce the same output in Sweave as it does if I produce an R file using Stangle and execute that: \documentclass[12pt]{article} \begin{document} <<R>>= election <- data.frame(A=1:3, B=9:7, C=rep(0,3)) partytotal <- rep(0, ncol(election)) for (i in 1:ncol(election)) { partytotal[i] <-

I don't think we should use .high, unless a significant number of units/protoocls issue a "battery charge is high" state with a consistent meaning. So no. If thi...

Advanced Format Technology
While researching another issue unrelated to Syslinux, I found some mildly disturbing news that affects Syslinux. As HPA stated back on 2009-06-04, hard drive manufacturers are pushing towards a 4096B (4kiB; 4k) native sector size. They're calling it "Advanced Format Technology". It appears that WD (Western Digital; WDC) is the first with some products being released back in

Shorewall make my firewall fly!
I''ve just put in production a Linux firewall with 4 ethernet interfaces and 3 openvpn tun virtual interfaces. With Shorewall everything work like a charm (only a little hassle with some details, due to bad configuration, not bugs!) Great tool! Tom and other Shorewall developers, you all are great!

centos Installation on Multiple machines
Hi, I want to install customized centos on multiple systems. Can PXE boot do that ? Apart from this is there any other way of doing image copy of centos OS and installing it on several client machines through network. I used clonezilla, but after image cloning, i will again have to use the clonezilla LIVE CD on client machine to do a image restore. I want to make a clone of centos OS and
