Hi, So i have users in the system and i have topics. Topics also have_many subtopics. What is the cleanest way to setup the AR relationships if a user can either have_many topics or subtopics ?

I am trying to migratean existing RHEL 6 machine to Centos 6. I followed the instructions in https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide I run into problems: when I run yum upgrade then yum tries to access a repository rhel-6-server-extras-rpms and then fails.

Now I try manually # strace telnet 2a02:180:ffff:1::551f:b966 80 ... connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET6,

5.6 is out. That is good news. I did a yum update on one of my non-critical server, and the server stoped responding to ping after the reboot, and never answered back. It's now been 10 minutes, so I'll have to take a ride to the colo... Nice work dev team, keep up the good work. Let's hope that C6 will come soon ! I'm eager to upgrade.

Hi all, How can I manage automatically memory ballooning under a kvm host (C5.6 and future C6)?? For example if I define a kvm guest to boot up with 512MB of RAM and I have configured 1GB as a maximum memory for this guest, how can I allocate this memory when guest will need it?? And the opposite question, can memory balloon be deallocated?? And is it possible to do this automatically or
