Hi Centos Users What are the advantages of 64 Bit and respective 32 Bit installation of Centos? With PAE 32 Bit installation can address huge amount of RAM. As a desktop system, I prefer 32 Bit installation because of teething troubles in 64 Bit Linux world. When would you choose 64 Bit and when 32 Bit? We are running mostly application and web services. Is this true that with 32 Bit

The disk and controller work great in CentOS 5 (or F7, for that matter), if I specifically mount it. This is not how I want to have to use this drive, however. I want to hotplug it; that is, plug the controller into the laptop, and then

I got some drives to work by jumpering them down to sata1, but other drives I can''t jumper without opening the case and voiding the drive warranty. Does anyone know if there is a system setting to drop it back to SATA1? I use zfs on a raid2 if

Hi Centos Users Its _really_ nonsense to release RHEL version on file sharing networks. The only reason why RHEL is so popular on torrent trackers is the lack of knowledge about Centos :-) Conclusion: we should do more marketing :-) cheers Simon -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
