I've recently documented simple use of a VServer with CentOS host and guest. toracat@ said that it might be worthwhile putting on the wiki. The present article is located at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/vserver.html If it does get to the wiki, I would remove the fedora section and also add a notice at the beginning of the article with dire warnings about using a non-stock kernel.

So, probably some of you, at least, follow Fedora, perhaps in part to see what new desktop user oriented decision will make it into the next version of RHEL/CentOS. You may have noticed how if Fedora, by some odd scheme, deems your password unworthy, you have to click Done two times. So, the latest Ananconda takes this one step further. Passwords that the system considers weak will no longer

Hi all, Our CentOS Forum contributor, "scottro", has written a guide to using KVM with CentOS-5.1 and made it available at: http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/centoskvm.html He is offering it for us to put on the CentOS wiki. I would be happy to wikify it and welcome any comments and suggestions. The contents will be updated as he adds more to his writing. Akemi

The first is "Don't use a palindrome" which makes me wonder if the author knows the meaning of this word. I suspect he/she thinks

I have a page I've done on the 4720z. It involves using 3rd party packages. The original page, which covers several distributions, is at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/acer4720z.html I would just use the laptop template, with a link to my page on it for the webcam, as in works with 3rd party software, see <link to my page> and wireless, works with 3rd party software, see

Greetings everyone. I have some CentOS 7 VMs running on the system for which I just made the inquiry about the kworker problem, and I was able to institute immediate change of hostname by updating the /etc/hostname file. I have network manager running on the host, as well, and it also has the name populated in this file. When I make the change in /etc/hostname, it takes immediate effect, and

Aloha all, I have a data frame with 4 columns. The first three are factors (f1, f2, f3) and the fourth is numeric. I'd like to explore these data using median polish. To do that I plan to use medpolish() on the matrix[f1,f2xf3], then medpolish on the resulting matrix[f2,f3]. This approach is described by Cook on page 141 of Exploring Data Tables, Trends, and Shapes. split()
