I've never used Blue-ray before, so is there some compelling reason, as a Linux guy, to want to get Blu-ray? Is that a personal preference, or are there reasons?

new laptop: DVD or Blu-ray
One of the build options for a laptop I'm looking at buying is DVD vs Blu-Ray. I've never used Blue-ray before, so is there some compelling reason, as a Linux guy, to want to get Blu-ray?

bogus error message from yum update for gmime and gmime-sharp
When I do "yum update gmime gmime-sharp" I get: ... --> Missing Dependency: gmime = 2.2.10-5.el5.centos is needed by package gmime-sharp-2.2.10-5.el5.centos.i386 (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: gmime = 2.2.10-5.el5.centos is needed by package gmime-sharp-2.2.10-5.el5.centos.i386 (installed) ...

yum update -> [Errno 4] Socket Error: timed out
Trying to update a second CentOS box, I'm getting this error repeatedly: [Errno 4] Socket Error: timed out I'm getting this on every mirror and have gone through the list of mirrors more than a dozen times. Oddly, the RPMs I'm trying to upgrade I upgraded just yesterday without a problem on another machine on the same LAN with no problems whatsoever. I can ping mirrors fine. There

Backup live system

Best practices for copying lots of files machine-to-machine
An entire filesystem (~180g) needs to be copied from one local linux machine to another. Since both systems are on the same local subnet, there's no need for encryption. I've done this sort of thing before a few times in the past in different ways, but wanted to get input from others on what's worked best for them. One consideration is that the source filesystem contains quite a

new laptop: DVD or Blu-ray

no gnome-applets in C7.2
Weird. There seems to be quite a bit of software missing from C7.2, gnome-applets being one of them. Or has it been moved or renamed or otherwise obscured? tia
