Current RHEL fragmentation landscape
...39;t predict the future but my feeling is that AlmaLinux has a good > chance to become the second Gold standard. I disagree with you. Both Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux are in a very comfortable position, and they will likely stay that way. my predict is that they will continue as a #rebuilder / #freeloader, writing software is a hard work. SuSe hardfork will probably be only an stable version of CentOS Stream. #offensive terms to the community :-), hide hat wrote it.

No, they didn't. That term was bandied about on social media by people who were speculating about the reasoning behind discontinuing the practice of debranding and publishing packages fr...

Massive filtering
...ffic is simple because I can match destination address, outgoing traffic I use iptables IPMARK then tc match mark and it works perfectly if I build rules for each client individually. I am worried about performance as the client list increases. I need to place client IPs into classes like routers, freeloaders, lite-access, premium-access, etc. I have no problem with rewriting rules on the fly. It is easy to pop in a rule change any time a user authenticates or is disconnected for inactivity. My first thought for scaling up was to use the hash tables, and I am feeling that the last line in lartc'&...

A round of applause!
Hello All, Just a short note to add my vote for a HUGE round of applause to the CentOS team for their untiring efforts in getting releases out the door. I've just upgraded several servers to 5.6 and it all "just works". None of the team's work is easy to accomplish, especially when less-than-useful complaints keep popping up from thoughtless users who don't appreciate

A housekeeping question...
...tion with a couple of shell choices along the way, I've left myself with a couple of unused stowaway libraries that I see no need to bring along to the next installation party. Is there a command or function or utility of some persuasion that would allow me to ferret out these non-dependent freeloaders? No need to go into detail. Just a pointer in the right direction would be much appreciated and I'll go quietly off and search on my own. Regards... -- Brian Lunergan Nepean, Ontario Canada "They know not the old ways.

Saved streams
Hi all, A while back (Feb 11) Stephen Commiskey sent mail to this list with the subject : "Seeking in a saved stream; or, Why isn't that sucker valid?". Stephen had some problems with streams he saved from the BBC that gave him all sorts of weird errors and resulted in his not being able to seek in his saved streams. I tried the same thing immediately (never saved an oggstream

Current RHEL fragmentation landscape
Hi, I've quickly made an incomplete list of the RHEL and clones/forks landscape to see what the current situation is. The interesting question will be how this will change in the coming years and how it affects Red Hat/IBM and the Linux users in general. RHEL ("The Original", quasi Gold standard until June 2023) CentOS Stream (rolling RHEL next) Oracle Linux (almost 1:1 rebuild

specifying 'root' for mboot.c32/syslinux
...with standard layout. It uses Syslinux 4.10pre15. This is failing on two parts: 1) bootsector method only works if specifying huge cluster size (16KB) 2) Multiboot method fails due to opening bootloader's configuration file from harddisk instead of bootdisk. [http://www.reactos.org/wiki/Boot_FreeLoader_from_GRUB] shows setting root in GRUB before loading /FREELDR.SYS, the ReactOS bootloader. Is there an equivalent way for Mboot.c32 to specify root? Setting it as an append option didn't work: [/boot/syslinux.cfg:] LABEL 2 COM32 /boot/mboot.c32 append /freeldr.sys root=fd0 ReactOS bugrepor...

Passed all tests with flying colors on Mac OS X 10.4.11 - synopsis of installation and testing
...... ok Verifying: devices ... ok Verifying: combo-tests ... Sub-test: xattrs + rsrc forks ... ok Sub-test: lots of metadata ... ok ok ----- Everything looks great. Thanks to Wayne and all those who have tested and refined this. I confess I am one of the myriad freeloaders who have been sitting back waiting for all of you to do the heavy lifting. I am a frequent beta tester on many open source projects, but I just don't have the guts to participate in such testing on a backup utility/app. So, I am thrilled to have a fully functional, modern, backup app...

Any way to boot Windows NT (specifically Win2K) directly?
I decided to install Win2K on my "retrogaming/htpc" system to take advantage of the dual processors in the thing when I'm multitasking a lot, but, it's kind of annoying having to use first one bootloader to chainload my Windows 98 partition, then, via NTLDR, selection Windows 2000 to get to Win2k. I tried using the recovery console to try to force it to write a boot sector to

ClearOS rebuild
This week's FLOSS Weekly interview is about ClearOS (audio/video at http://twit.tv/floss168). Apparently they have taken the CentOS developer's frequently given advice to go away and do it yourself and will have a 'ClearOS core' release that is their own rebuild from Red Hat sources that will be the base for the ClearOS enterprise distribution instead of relying on CentOS as

This doesn't make sense
Just got my Lenovo TS130 with a Xeon E3-1225 Processor, 4GB RAM, blah, blah, blah...... It won't boot CentOS 6.0 64 bit, Scientific Linux 64 bit 6.1, but will boot 32 bit CentOS 6.0. Any ideas? Otherwise, its going back to Amazon Monday and I'm done. Will keep my 5.7 Centos boxes until they rot! TIA

MIT vs GPL vs LGPL for open source project
I intend to release a project I wrote with Rails. What is the right licensing scheme for a web application (content managing system) which could grow with plugins and add-ons ? Personally, I would prefer the GPL but does that mean any add-on to the CMS (like task management) will have to be GPL ? If some people contribute to the code could it still be double-licenced so that the people who
