Hi there, I am running various browsers on my CentOS 6.5. Firefox is running smoothly, especially with blocking flash animations. I recently installed Opera and I use Seamonkey for long, both suffers from being very slow. Does CentOS have any role in this? For your information I send cpuinfo, some people on #centos said that this could be the problem -- but then why Firefox flies? - Gergely $

Hi, firefox does not play h.264 videos on centos 7 so I need a flash plugin. But I see packages only for centos 6.x. What can I do? - Gergely

Hi there, some of my users use putty to connect to my server via ssh protocol. After some time they get the above error message, and it could be that my CentOS-side configuration caused this. Do anybody has experience with this problem? - Gergely

Hi there, I installed centos 7 -- it works great. What made me think is that installation took 1300 packages for a Desktop with some add-ons.

Dear CentOS users, is it possible to prepare for a certified (big North American Linux vendor) engineer exam with a CentOS install ? I have heard that the test contains questions on specific GUIs, are they included in the CentOS distribution? - Gergely

Hi, I use centos as it is stable and provides all the software that is needed for everyday use. However, sometimes I would like to use fresh software that is not available as a package.

Hi there, I liked the terminal font in GNOME Classic but I want to switch to Cinnamon. fc-match said in GNOME that the Monospace font is Dejavu Sans Mono Book. I set that in Cinnamon but that appears quite different. How can I use the same terminal font in Cinnamon? How can I figure this out digging through font configuration files? - Gergely

Hi there, I was using a ps/2 mouse. I had to connect a ps/2 keyboard. As I have only one ps/2 socket I connected an usb mouse. I then removed the other keyboard and reconnected the ps/2 mouse and removed the usb mouse. Now the ps/2 mouse does not work, even after reboot. What should I do? - Gergely
