similar to: OT, but just a quick question.

I've been out of pocket for a while, so don't shoot me, if this has already been brought up. I'm having a problem with my desktop freezing up, and I'm running Cent OS 6. It seems to happen while I'm running firefox. I'm not sure if it's firefox, or the OS that's locking up. When it freezes up, nothing will respond, so I'm inclined to think it's the OS

This isn't specifically about cent os, but I am running cent os on this machine. I've got a Dell Dimension 2400 desktop pc. I've tried on a number of occasions to put a second hard drive in the machine, but I can't get the machine to recognize the second drive in BIOS. I'm going to try and keep this short and sweet. I've tried all that I know to try. I've set the

I've been reading up some about the new "secure boot" that's coming out on new machines when MS releases Win 8. Has a workaround been developed yet for those of us who don't want to run windows? Typically, I mostly build my own desktops, and I install cent os right from the start, but sometimes I do buy a desktop, and naturally it comes with windows on it, so I have to do a

Hi guys, I realize that this might be considered to be off topic, but the machine I want to use is running Cent OS. Ok, this is what I'm thinking about trying, and mainly just to see if I can do it. I've got a total of 3 linux machines here, and I was thinking about setting one of them up as an email server. Now, I'm not talking about setting the machine up so that all I

I recently acquired a Fujitsu Lifebook 1610. Unfortunately, the machine was missing a lot of the stuff that would've come with it brand new, mainly the usb cdrom drive. Currently, I'm running Fedora on it, and I installed it using a usb flash drive with the help of a program called unetbootin(Probably not spelled right). to load the ISO onto the USB drive. I've successfully used

Hi, Do you any good SIEVE resources for a poor beginnner ? I'd to translate some of my current procmail rules into SIEVE. I have, for example, a "generic" rule that is able to sort almost any message from/to a mailing-list into a dedicated folder -i.e one rule for almost all my lists. Any recomendation ? Thank you

In my Cent OS machine, I have 3 hard drives, an 80, and two 200gig hard drives. One of the drives is obviously starting to fail, but I'm not sure which one. Is there a command line command in Linux that will check the drive integrity on all the hard drives and tell me which one is going bad? Thanks Jim

I have a quick question. The board and CPU that I'm using in one of my machines was given to me. I didn't take the time to look up the info on the board or anything. I was busy, so I just put the board in a pc case, hooked everything up, and loaded the os on the machine. I didn't know it at the time, but there's a chance it may be a 64bit board and cpu. I don't

I'm just curious if any one else has noticed this. I've bought hard drives from both Walmart and Best Buy. If I can wait, I order them from newegg.com. I'm beginning to think that the staff at both Walmart and Best Buy, somewhere along the supply line must dribble the drives like basket balls. The reason I say that is all the drives I have bought from those two places fail within a few

Just out of curiosity, has anyone noticed a problem that has developed with firefox? This started on both of my machines after the newest updates. I'll be at a website, even the mozilla website, and when I click on a link to go to another part of the site or to download a file, Firefox will just simply close. It's random for the most part, but it happened quite often at the sourceforge.net

I've had no luck with getting a wireless card to work. Before I go buy another card, I wanted to see if there is a way I could do this instead. I've got a second wireless router that I'm not using right now. So I would like to find out if there is a way I can make this work. I was thinking about connecting the second wireless router to my pc through the ethernet port, and let the

Hi, I'm trying to add a boot image to syslinux. It errors out, but the menu quickly comes back to cover the message(s). I'm running syslinux under QEMU/KVM. Is there a way to see the messages? Thanks -Mike

I have this kind of matrix, with thousands of cases. A 2 apple A 2 peach A 3 peach B 1 pear B 4 peach B 4 beef B 7 beef C 1 peach D 2 apple D 5 peach I have to distinguish, from the other rows, the rows with "peach" and this is not a problem. I also have to discriminate the rows with peach like the second one (associated with the same two cells "A" and

This is an article I came across on zdnet.com. You may or may not agree with it. Personally, I don't. Anyway, here's the link to it. I thought some of you might want to read it, and form your own opinion. http://blogs.zdnet.com/Murphy/?p=769 Thanks for the help on the wireless problem. Jim

OK, I've figured out which drive is bad. Before I go any further let me give a brief HD configuration explanation. The primary IDE has a 80gig(Master) HD, and an internal zip drive(Slave) connected to it. The two 200gig Hard Drives are connect to a PCI ATA controller card(Not a promise card), one is master, the other one is slave. It is the slave 200gig drive that is going bad. Now, I
