Hi Is it possible to swap the yum.conf from my centos box onto my whitebox box and have the whitebox machine use centos updates through yum? CentOS seems further ahead and far quicker at roll outs than whitebox? thanks

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 ....

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

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

Having some fun with the APC monitoring daemon (apcupsd) - I've installed the Whitebox rpm and it runs OK but I cannot communicate with the UPS on ttyS0 or ttyS1. I'm using a supported cable (according to the utility's Web site). I've followed the troubleshooting tips on the app's Web site with no luck - the only bit that I can't resolve is it recommends disabling logins

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,

Hi All. I've found: This directory (and version of CentOS) is depreciated. For normal users, you should use /6/ and not /6.3/ in your path. Please see this FAQ concerning the CentOS release scheme: http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=34 If you know what you are doing, and absolutely want to remain at the 6.3 level, go to http://vault.centos.org/ for packages. Please keep

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.

That's why i'm writing to you,
