3ware performance in CentOS
Have a look at these pages:
http://www.bofh-hunter.com/2008/06/13/3ware-performance-in-centos/
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444759
I'm comparing the default 5.1 64bit kernel with the patched one posted
in the bug report (kernel-2.6.18-53.1.21.el5.bz321111.x86_64) and I
don't quite see any significant difference in write performance for this
command:
dd if=/dev/zero

SATA RAID card recommendation?
I need a SATA RAID PCI card that works well with CentOS and is fully
supported. Mandatory features:
- works with the drivers already in the kernel, no additional drivers
- can do RAID 0, 1 and 5
- hotswap
- allows to monitor the status of the array and of each individual drive
via a script (ideally run from cron)
- works with very large SATA drives
Nice to have features but not mandatory:

3ware 9650 issues
I've been having no end of issues with a 3ware 9650SE-24M8 in a server that's
coming on a year old. I've got 24 WDC WD5001ABYS drives (500GB) hooked to it,
running as a single RAID6 w/ a hot spare. These issues boil down to the card
periodically throwing errors like the following:
sd 1:0:0:0: WARNING: (0x06:0x002C): Command (0x8a) timed out, resetting card.

rolling your own kernel - guidelines?
Let's say I want to use a much newer kernel - even one from the future,
such as the upcoming 2.6.24. :-) What would y'all smart folks do in this
case, in order to avoid any possible nasty consequences?
Would you import the config file from the original CentOS5 kernel into
the new kernel, and let the kernel deal with the differences? I.e. have
the old configuration as some sort of

the "official" lightweight desktop environment for CentOS?
I want to build a dedicated MythTV box using CentOS5. I need a
lightweight desktop environment, something extremely simple that does
not use much memory. Gnome and KDE use way too much memory and are too
complex for what I want to do.
The system will login automatically to a certain account after booting
up. After the automatic login, it will start immediately the MythTV
frontend full-screen.

PSTN/phone/FXO/FXS cabling issue
I just received a Wildcard TDM400P by FedEx yesterday. I noticed that
the FXO/FXS modules use connectors similar to Ethernet.
Now, i want to connect the TDM400P to the PSTN connector in the wall,
and also to a regular analog phone. Both the PSTN conn and the phone use
smaller connectors, typical for analog phones.
I searched the "official" docs and the Wiki, there's good

slow Perl on CentOS 5
If your Perl apps are unusually slow on CentOS 5, have a look at this blog:
http://blog.vipul.net/2008/08/24/redhat-perl-what-a-tragedy/
In a nutshell: some Perl apps are 100x slower on RedHat / CentOS 5
compared to other distributions.

state of IPSec VPN on CentOS 7: Openswan, strongSwan, RPM packages
I looked in the yum repositories for CentOS 7 and I noticed that there
are no packages for any of the major open source IPSec VPN apps -
Openswan, strongSwan, etc. I'm pretty sure CentOS 6 had Openswan
packages.
What is the current consensus w.r.t. building an IPSec VPN "server"
(concentrator, whatever) on CentOS 7, that will do site-to-site
connections with Cisco hardware at

FCC Rules VoIP Must Be Tappable
http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/08/04/2212251&tid=158&tid=95&tid=103
Probably some of you already saw this.
Now, beyond discussions regarding the legitimacy of such a ruling
(whether they have the legal, moral or whatever right to enforce it),
there's the technical aspect.
Suppose i provide VoIP services using Asterisk, and i fall under the

print something on console after boot
CentOS 7
How do I print something on the text-mode console right after the OS has
finished booting?
I've a virtual instance and I need to know its IP address after it has
finished booting up, to know where to ssh into it. I've tried adding "ip
-4 addr > /dev/tty0" to rc.local, but that obviously doesn't work,
because the login prompt overwrites everything I do.

caching pipe?
Is it possible to add caching to a pipe?
cat blah | in_RAM_cache_here -s SIZE | something else
I'm doing what is essentially a cat (*) from a DVD directly to an NFS
share. It looks like the two media (DVD and NFS) have very different
read / write behaviors, speeds and timings, and the overall process is
not as fast as possible. So I was wondering if some kind of cache
inbetween might be

video calls - Windows / Linux interoperability ?
I will install Asterisk on my home server, I want to be able to route
video calls, but I need the Windows and Linux clients to be interoperable.
On Linux, it looks like Ekiga is a good candidate. But how about Windows?
Anyone using Kapanga in an Asterisk network that includes Ekiga? Are
these two interoperable?
I'm not necessarily looking for open source software, free for personal

cross-platform email client
I'm a Thunderbird user almost since day one, but now I'm looking for
something else. For whatever reason, it doesn't work well for me - every
once in a while it becomes non-responsive (UI completely frozen for
several seconds, CPU usage goes to 100%) and I just can't afford to
waste time waiting for the email software to start working again.
My main desktop platform is Linux,

It's plaintext completely, on port 143, because the connection is local

glusterfs-server package: what happened to it?
I'm doing some experiments with GlusterFS. Most documents online suggest
to install the glusterfs-package as if it was available directly in the
repo, and therefore installable via a simple "yum install".
Unless I'm wrong, it appears that this package is not in the repo for
CentOS 6. Does anyone know what happened to it?

integrating with existing PBX
I'm looking for a way to give VoIP capabilities to an existing PBX: it's
made by Mitel and it's used in a small/medium environment (a few dozen
phones, but the PBX has capabilities for up to 200, if i remember
correctly).
Any high-level guidelines on how to integrate Asterisk with a PBX that's
already in use? Probably that particular PBX is not supported directly,
but are there
