similar to: centos5 - yum groupinstall and yum grouplist

On a Compaq DL360 G1 w/ dual PIII 1.27's I installed Centos 5 minimal and then a yum update When I do a "uname -a" I get this Linux tstsrvr.abbacomm.net 2.6.18-8.1.3.el5 #1 SMP Mon Apr 30 19:55:44 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux When I do a rpm -qa | grep kern* I get this kernel-devel-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5 kernel-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5 kernel-headers-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5 It is interesting

Greetings Please forgive the OT question yet I highly value the experience and wisdom on this list I am wondering if anyone here can address the performance difference between having a processor board with say 256KB L2 *and* 2048KB L3 cache *VERSUS* just having the same processor board with just the L2 cache in a centos server environment... Please figure that all other necessary and related

Gentlemen, I have a question regarding yum groupinstall vs just using yum install. I have been reading tutorials online (for example how to run a Centos LAMP). Most of the tutorials have examples to install httpd, mysql, etc using yum install httpd.... The reason for this e-mail is that I noticed in yum grouplist that there is an option to install Web Server, MySQL database server, etc.

Is this an acceptable machine or does it have to be "rackmount" ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250111166910 - rh -- Abba Communications Spokane, WA www.abbacomm.net

Greets, Ummmmm never had one b4... picked up a new 4 Gig SanDisk Cruzer Micro USB 2.0 Flash Drive to play with. Dunno if I will keep it or not. I am mostly interested in using it with CentOS of course. Ummmmm it comes with like 120 meg of non linux apps and stuff on it. Can I dust that garbage and just reformat this unit to boot with CentOS or?? Been around for a long time, know google

Greets Anyone on the list using newer HP G4 or G5 server hardware like DL36X or DL38X with Centos? Or other HP hardware? Are you running Intel, AMD, or both? Are you using SAS or SATA or a mix? Are you using Centos 3, CentOS 4, or starting migration to CentOS 5 Are things rock solid stable without any issues? I know older Compaq and HP boxen have been rock solid for us for years yet we

I have seen people on the list say you can yum groupinstall everything yet when I tried their method, it didn't work Is there actually a way other than making a script with all the info in it? - rh

Greetings One production box we have deployed is a yum current centos 4.4 Im thinking we should move to perl 5.8.8 in regards to Spamassassin among some other items... Would someone please tell me from experience if do the command below of yum --enablerepo=centosplus update perl* Q: will I get everything I need for this exercise or should I be looking to get some other supporting packages

On a centos 4.4 yum update I get this Error: Missing Dependency: libmysqlclient_r.so.14(libmysqlclient_14) is needed by package MySQL-python Error: Missing Dependency: libmysqlclient_r.so.14 is needed by package MySQL-python I don't want to overly speculate... is it just a mirrors syncing thing or? Only thing I can think of is I installed perl 5.8.8 from centosplus repo in the last week for

Greetings CentOS developers, users, and addicts! As per earlier post, a CentOS 5 linux text install does install just fine using *only* the 1st CD (1 out of 6) if you go to custom software selection and deselect everything... very sweet!!! the same cannot be said of the default "just hit enter" GUI install... (no, I am not knocking or putting down what we were just so graciously

Although I know the basics about getting and installing web and mail server ssl certs, I haven't had to "purchase" and do it "myself" for some time. i always had someone else dealing with it. I am wondering what you folks on the list are using on your centos web and mail servers :-) Are you making your own or are you purchasing them from godaddy, thawte, geotrust,

Greetings Some time ago I briefly played with NFS. More recently with Samba. What I am wondering is if NFSv4 is already integrated into Centos 4 from upstream. Reference: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reviews/6331/1/ if not, is there a timeline? Centos 5 ? and... is or can NFS be a compatible yet better replacement for Samba? thanks - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications

With all due respect to the various people, their hard work and associated repos, where is the best place to do a yum install for these two packages below in regards to an internet facing production Centos 4.4 server perl-IO-Zlib perl-Archive-Tar I noticed dag and karan repos appear to have it and my experience and research tells me that using CPAN is not an option for possible problems at

Greetings, A friend of mine is running 3.3 He asked what I thought about going to 4.4 I imagine it is best to backup and fresh install and migrate old configs and data What is the wisdom on the list I remember going from beta 3 to 3 a long time ago. Anyone ever upgrade from 3.x to 4.x without problem and how so? I didn't see a lot on the www other than some apt-get info Thanks in

Ok, ok I am a "one minute" perl expert now (sung to the tune of "I read the One Minute Manager Book today yeah yeah yeah baby baby" :p My first perl research and program called test.pl use Net::DNS; print Net::DNS->version, "\n"; the result of "perl test.pl" as expected was 0.48 Please keep the applause to a minimum please. Tens and twenties work

Please share some wisdom from the list... :-) Realistically there is some type of difference between an rpm made for an arch (like i386 or x86_64 etc) vrs an rpm with noarch I was just looking at and downloaded these two from dag perl-Archive-Tar-1.30-1.el4.rf.noarch.rpm perl-IO-Zlib-1.04-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm they are the latest and are not assigned to an architecture there are older rpms of
