...al longevity of the LTS kernels, i can see that 4.4 is available. but the most recent LTS kernel was 4.14, was it not? so why is a 4.14 "lt" kernel not available in that repository? i am obviously unclear on the policy used to determine which kernel versions end up in that repository. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

...oes anyone here have pointers or access to courseware that could be used to teach centos (5.4, i believe)? publicly-available, free C/W would, of course, be ideal, but if you have some decent training manuals that you're willing to license on a per-manual basis, i'm still willing to chat. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

...ed. This will then notify me to reboot the tribox. Let me know if this is doable. ===== end ===== so, is there an easy fix for this? if the ISP goes down, does that necessarily mean that trixbox has to go down as well? or should i be asking this question on a trixbox-specific list? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

...4.15, as explained in a number of places like this: https://www.tecmint.com/install-upgrade-kernel-version-in-centos-7/ i simply prefer to run a current kernel but i can resist the temptation if upgrading that on a centos 7.4 system would introduce more problems than are worth it. thoughts? rday

finishing a week of teaching a comptia linux+ class off of centos 7.4 and wanted to demo how to boot to "rescue" mode, so i rebooted, selected "rescue" mode at grub menu, which still booted to full multiuser, graphical mode. what am i doing wrong? or is this a dumb question? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

...stem is given as: "Copy the public key (id_rsa.pub) to the server and install it to the authorized_keys list: $ cat id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys" i suspect it would be better if that were rewritten in terms of using ssh-copy-id, just to be simpler and less error-prone. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

...y. so while i'm more than happy to write/update docs, i won't be spending any time whatsoever with centos 4. so what does one do under those circumstances? again, this is a perfectly serious question. i know it's not fair to short-change centos 4 -- i just have no interest in it. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

...king about the mechanics of building a kernel for a centos system, and they seemed to suggest that there were some intricacies involved as opposed to other distros. i've never tried it -- is there a trick or something? got a pointer to the canonical web page that has the directions? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

reading KVM/QEMU hypervisor driver page here: http://libvirt.org/drvqemu.html and one reads, "KVM hypervisor: The driver will probe /usr/bin for the presence of qemu-kvm ...". on my RHEL 6.5 system, qemu-kvm is in /usr/libexec, not /usr/bin. am i misreading something? rday

it's been a while since i've played with filesystem encryption so, on centos 5.4 (and other linux distros), is dm-crypt/LUKS considered to be the state of the art WRT encryption? i remember other solutions like loop-aes and others, but what's considered the gold standard these days? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
