similar to: WhiteBox 4 -> CentOS4.1 - Yum

Hello several months ago I install WhiteBox Linux on several severs, I was happy, not woriing about upgrading every 1,5 year as when I use RH 4.0, 6.0, 7.3, 9.0 .... And then WhiteBox went black, WBEL updates release slowed down and maintainer wont help form anybody. Just telling "If you want quick updates, build it yourself.". I prefer wasting time for customizations and/or

Hello *, i get following error: Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies .....Unable to satisfy dependencies Package rpm-libs needs rpm = 4.2.3-13.WB2, this is not available. I switch from WhiteBox to Centos. How can resolve this problem?

Hi everyone, I have a home computer that I use to develop on, which it is running Whitebox 3.0. I have copied all the required CentOS 3.4 RPMs to /RPM, created a new yum repository and then updated, but when I try to upgrade, it fails on a "recursive dependency on glibc". Is there any way I can force that dependency? Would it be easier to upgrade to 4.0 using Anaconda? Thanks for all

Hi folks: I've recently migrated one of my production servers (bad Jason!) from WBEL to CentOS 3.3 using Donavan's instructions in the FAQ (http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=19). While it was as painless as the document suggests, I've run into problems with postgrey (a postfix greylisting daemon) on my server. Whenever I try to start postgrey, I get the

Can I maintain an RH3 system using centos packages? I admin a non-profit's server and got them RH3 but the subscription has expired. I would rather not reload the os, rather just update it using centos and yum. I haven't worked with yum much, how do I configure it?

Well, I'm a recent convert from WBEL. My biggest concern with CentOS is that the community here seems to want to be more than a recompile of RHEL. But WBEL is floundering, what with Katrina and Rita, and there really being only 1 developer behind it, etc. I offer an automated shell script to switch from WBEL4 to CentOS4 (easy, it's hosted on my home DSL line!) It assumes that

Hello I am leaving Whitebox because of lack of up to date sec. updates. Did any body try to "upgrade" WBEL to CentOS? Any dificulty or problems? Thanks Petr Klima

Hi, For a few months i've been using WhiteBox Enterprise Linux. In fact, i've migrated all my companie's servers (about 20) to this RHEL distro like. Well, it's not that i'm not satisfied, but WBEL is a one man show and that causes me some preocupation. And besides, it seems to me that it can't stand up to the rythm RHEL evolves. That's why i'm writing to you,

Hi all, Does anybody have experience with updating a wbel4 box to centos4? I assume I can follow the basic faq19 instructions, but that's an assumption. Thanks in advance Brad

Hi, I have downloaded several different sets of the 64-bit ISOs, and have burned them to CD using various of my known-good ISO burning softwares, including Nero and DeepBurn on Windows, as well as the native CD burning KDE linux tool on Xandros Linux. I am using mirrors from the site, like kernel.org. I have chosen low burning speeds also, but when I insert the ISO CD into a server and boot it

I've been following the faq for moving from whitebox to centos (which admittedly is for release 3, but using the equivalent release 4 files) and keep getting stuck when installing the centos-release-4-2.1 rpm which says it should replace whitebox-release4.2 However this is not happening, giving me the following rpm -Uvh

Hello all I migrated my Centos installation from a whitebox install few months ago. Only one minor issue...on booting up X, the login screen shows whitebox logos. At that time, I did not tackle it because I assumed that it will automatically be upgraded with yum...and again it was not essential to running the OS. What whitebox rpms do I need to substitute with centos ones to correct this

Hi, I have plesk server administration 7.5.4 on my server and am wanting to upgrade to plesk 8.

Good evening everyone, I am used to using R under Windows, but have done an install of 1.9.1 under WhiteBox linux 3 (based on RHEL 3). This all went without a hitch, along with most of the additional package installs. However, while trying to install car and rgl I hit a problem regarding the X environment not being found. As I was doing the install from a console *within* the X environment,
