Hi, We are starting a new project, and are trying to decide the best way to proceed. We want to setup a LAMP configuration using Centos, something we have been doing in the past with great success. The question is load balancing. We antisipate the potential for the system to receive 500,000 requests/ day with in the next year. We want to plan for that extra load now as we start the

Hi, I have been trying to install Centos 4.4 on my laptop with no success. I have just purchased a new Acer 5100 laptop with AMD Turion 64x2 1Gig ram 120Gig HD. I have tried the 64bit and the 32 bit versions but have the same problem with both of them.

Hi, I am working on a project where I have to move some parts files from an old Unix server. I have tared the files to floppy disc, but I can't mount them. After doing some reasearch I have found that the SCO Unix ver 3.2 uses a System V filesystem I think. From the article that I have read I need to add this filesystem to my kernel to be able to mount and read the floppy discs. Can

Hey, The company I work for is in the market for a new firewall. Right now we're hosting all of our own stuff (on CentOS servers) behind an old checkpoint firewall. I think Checkpoint is overkill for our needs and very expensive, plus I don't like the "per-user" charges of some commercial solutions. What do you guys suggest that we upgrade to? Here are some of the

I have purchased a used Compaq DL360 which I was going to use as a proxy server. Presently, we are using a cheap box with ipcop which is working fine but it didn't have much RAM (64MB), etc. This new box we will want to run squid and perhaps dansguardian for filtering (this is a non-profit company) and I'm wondering if I should just put ipcop on it or would it be smarter/better to install

Hi I am using Centos 4.3 to host various web sites that I maintain. I am finding that I am getting more and more, and I have thought of setting up a hosting server to make things quicker for my self.

Hi, I have setup raid on a new server and have found that if I remove one drive it will boot but if I remove the other it says missing OS. I am using two 18.2Gig SCSI drives, using software raid 1. I have it setup with the following drives in this order. /boot swap / all are mirrored between the two drives. I remember a while back that their was a problem with grub would that be the

Well FWbuilder is NOT easy. The documentation does not match the current GUI. Now the box is locked up. I will have to pull it again, hook it up to a kybd/VGA and reset iptables.... Maybe Shoreline with webmin.... Problem is I want a REAL router/firewall with little work. Both public and private nets have routable addresses. No NATing for me! I just help write the RFC ;) And all the

Hi, I use CentOS as a firewall/proxy/webserver/fileserver in my small network. As the small-spec machine with CentOS is heavily loaded/used I can't afford downtime. 20 GB, pentium II with only 128 MB RAM. However I want to know the news on 4.5 is it due soon? Can I gain more by running CentOS 3.x range on such an old machine like mine? Will CentOS 5.0 mean you need a minimum of 512 RAM?

Hi, I have just installed the server cd 4.2 and was wondering what I would need to install to add xcfe4? I wanted to install a light weight desktop for playing around with. Do I have to install x11 and what packages would I install. I have added xcfe4 to Centos 4.2 after I had installed gnome and such. But not sure about with the server cd. Thanks

Hi, I am thinking of settting up a thin client server setup. I would like to set it up to work with linux and windows. I was going to use Symbiont but it says it needs a different version of linux to install. Has anyone used it with Centos before? Would it be easier to just install LTSP and set it up. I would like to b have a small box that does the dhcp and then allows users to logon to

Hi, I have a centos 4.2 server setup and running as a zimbra email server. It has 2 18.4Gig SCSI hard drives setup in software raid 1 for mirroring. I had tested the unit before production and found that if I disconnected one of the drives the other wouldn't boot I search and found that I had to modify the boot (I don't remember exactly at the moment) After testing I am sure it
