similar to: Asterisk and VOIP was Re: CentOS for non-tech user

-----Original Message----- From: Brian Mathis The difference is that CentOS is a general-purpose OS that can be used for many things, and has a much bigger installed base. That makes it more of a target and would likely be included in scanning tools. A custom OS running on a PBX might also have vulnerabilities, but it's also probably not a big target because of the diversity of systems

For the OP: Did you even try Google before asking the list? Google should always be your first choice. http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux-iphone-6.html For Scott: If you install the VLC app on the iPad you can probably skip the transcoding and also having to add the video to iTunes first. You'll only need to transcode the audio if it uses AC3, which is proprietary and the owners

Hi, I'm trying to run Celtx (a screenplay formatter) in CentOS 5.3 from the shell. If I run celtx-bin I get the following error: ./celtx-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libjemalloc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory If I run celtx I get ./celtx-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgio-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or

I've been having an odd problem lately. When I drag files from the computer to a flash drive, they appear to copy, but when I try to use the files I find that only the name was copied (file size of 0). When I copy the same files to the same flash drive, from the terminal, everything seems to work. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this? It's starting to get a little frustrating.

A few weeks ago I asked about firewalls and family filters. Lanny Marcus, I believe, suggested OpenDNS. Just wanted to thank him (and everyone here) for their suggestions. Eventually I would like to learn about firewalls, but I don't really want to run another machine at this time. OpenDNS is trivial to set up on the router and looks to be just about exactly what I wanted. Thanks. Sorry to

Someone told me that if you have a CentOS or Fedora server, you can pay a Red Hat yearly fee and get them to support it (because the environments are so similar). Can anyone here substantiate this claim? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
