I checked Best Buy again. The second system I recommended is in stock at the Best Buy in Warwick. It's on sale for $353. :) http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8254569&type=product&id=1169512522677 I'm thinking about getting out of Dodge today to unwind so if you pick it up early today I can come up and help you install it and then just come home later in the day.

I'm just wondering what folks are using to benchmark/tune large arrays these days. I've always used bonnie with file sizes 2-3 times physical RAM. Maybe there's a better way? Cheers,

Has anyone here benchmarked 64-bit 4.2 against a dual core opteron (or Athlon 64x2) vs a pair of physical single-core opterons? It's that time of year again....ordering new workstations. 8-) Cheers,

Just wondering if any 4.2 users out there have a favourite "dumb" PCI controller to add a couple of SATA ports to a motherboard that doesn't include SATA support. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just 2 SATA ports that a recent vintage kernel will recognize without a lot of configuration gymnastics. The intended use is for relatively light weight internet browser

I'm not really a programmer and I recently came across this hack to insert a short sleep statement into auth-passwd.c within sshd. It seems to quickly confuse automated dictionary attacks. I've moved sshd to higher ports but apparently the cretins are now scanning to look for that and attacking on whatever port sshd shows up on. Anyway, the link to the hack is here:

Is anyone having issues with these particular cards (especially the newer SATAII variant) and the stock CentOS kernels? Are they well supported enough such that a "yum update" suffices to keep them synced up with patches without having to hand edit the kernel or build special modules from 3Ware each time? Cheers,

Has anyone seen this before? [root at shelob rpm]# yum update rpmdb: Program version 4.2 doesn't match environment version error: db4 error(22) from dbenv->open: Invalid argument error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Invalid argument (22) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 30, in ?

Is it possible to create an alternate list for the people who insist on spending their days posting long-winded political commentary and opinion? Maybe something like centos-offtopic? Reading the list has gone from "fun" status to "chore." Just a suggestion. Cheers, C

Hi there, I'm trying to repurpose an unused machine (athlon XP 3000+) for my young daughter to use. It's on a motherboard with a VIA KT880 chipset and VIA integrated soundcard (VIA 8237). The card seems to be detected during boot time and shows up in the system log, but when I try to actually use the sound card within Gnome, there's no sound. The device is detected, but

I have two identical servers. The only difference is that the first one has Maxtor 250G drives and the second one has Seagate 320G drives. OS: CentOS-4.4 (fully patched) CPU: dual Opteron 280 Memory: 16GB Raid card: 3ware 9550Sx-8LP Raid volume: 4-disk Raid 5 with NCQ and Write Cache enabled On the first server I have decent performance. Nothing spectacular, but good enough. The second one

Hi, I've got Chinese Windows application that appears to have a problem with Chinese fonts under wine (emulating Windows 98). It's available from here: http://www.gtjadzh.com/ (download starts automatically after some seconds, filename is setup_dzh5_fuyi.exe. When running "wine setup_dzh5_fuyi.exe" from a console, I get get to see a window full of garbage characters (see

Hi I tried to plot something simple x=c('2010-08-20', '2010-08-30') y = c(1,2) t = strptime(x, "%Y-%m-%d") plot(t,y) At the xlab, the fonts are Chinese. How can I switch it to English? I am working under Windows 7 64 bits Home Edition and R is Win32 version 2.11.1 Thanks! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have been trying to install CentOS 4.1 on a new server today. The installation went fine but the system doesn't boot. It doesn't even get to the Grub screen. The system has a 3ware 9500 series controller and 12 250GB SATA disks which are configured for RAID5 with one hot spare. I searched on the web and noticed that this is a Grub (and Lilo) limitation. Is there any way around it other

I''m still using CentOS 3.3 as our install mechanism, then adding some packages from a tarball of RPMs we need. Then I run # yum update yum which sometimes takes a while. Yesterday it took many hours. I like to run these from behind a firewall in our office before taking the server to the datacenter, but the delay meant a whole day''s delay in our trip to the datacenter

Hi. I just installed Centos 4. I''m pretty sure that I chose to have it install postgresql but when the system came up, it wasn''t there. No worries. I installed it from the net with ''yum''. Unfortunately, when I started it up and it tried to init the database, I got a bunch of SELinux errors: Mar 3 13:24:22 dirty kernel: audit(1109874262.006:0): avc:

I installed Ubuntu in English. How now, "Wine" to force to show the Korean (Hangeul) and Japanese (Hiragana/Katakana/kanji) fonts?.

All, I would like to announce our Official CentOS CD/DVD Vendor Program. We currently have 3 vendors, and 2 more who are putting together their information. (Not bad ... the official program has been going for less than 12 hours :) The details of the program (how to get in it, what they give back to the CentOS Project, etc.) are here: http://www.centos.org/images/CentOS_CD_Vendors.pdf Here is
