similar to: What is cached swap?

I am considering installing CentOS 4.4, and am interested in how best to set up. I have been using FC2 and helping administer a Debian machine for a few years, but do not consider myself a Linux guru. My current set up uses a /swap partition which is 2x my memory size mem = 256 MB $ sudo /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/hda6 76506 77545 524128+ 82 Linux swap I'm interested in the

I'm most likely going to make the hop from FC to CentOS in the next several months, and wonder whether I should wait for CentOS 5.

I want to install smarmontools v 5.40, and so I pulled the SRPM for 5.39 so I could patch and install... $ wget -Nc ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Workstation/en/os/SRPMS/smartmontools-5.39.1-2.el6.src.rpm However, the install of the source fails. $ rpm -ivh smartmontools-5.39.1-2.el6.src.rpm warning: smartmontools-5.39.1-2.el6.src.rpm: V3 RSA/MD5 signature: NOKEY, key ID

I asked before (about 2 weeks) about this, and was told it was in testing. I wonder when it will be available. My GF is considering leaving Debian due to it not recognizing her hardware very well, and I thought a CentOS 5 LiveCD might be a reasonable way for her to see whether CentOS might do a better job. If no LiveCD is forthcoming soon, then I'll burn a copy of the CentOS 4 LiveCD and let

Some time ago I installed FC2 at the request of an employer. That contract ended over a year ago, and FC2 is an orphan. I am gradually feeling more pressure to jump from FC2, and do not wish to remain with the Fedora Core Project, as I don't want to make installing and upgrading my machine into a hobby. I already maintain a Debian machine for my girlfriend, but I'm not sure I wish make

For lack of knowlege of a better place to put this, I'm reporting an error on the CentOS FAQ. Trying to read http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/category.php?categoryid=2 question "How do I download and burn the isos?" I encountered this web page with the following text: [http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=46] This page cannot be displayed due to an internal

Hello, all. New to list. I hope this isn't an FAQ. I looked at the FAQs I could find, and didn't see it. I am doing contract work, and was requested to install FC2 on my machine (last October). Since doing that, I have tentatively concluded that the Fedora Core Project is more or less beta test, and not really suitable for development work. Please anyone correct me if I am wrong. So I

On bootup, it seems CentOS automatically mounts the floppy drive to /media/floppy. Is there a way to stop this from happening, short of removing the floppy drive from the system (as I don't use it)?

Currently we have RH7.3 with compiler gcc 2.96.x My mission, should I choose to accept it, involves moving our embedded application to CentOS 4.1 with gcc 3.x Problem is that about 1/2 million lines of code that gcc 2.96 accepts gives fatal fits to the gcc 3.x compiler from CentOS 4.1 I don't know how many fatal fits, as some disguise others etc. "Can't find register to

I don''t seem to have access to the web administration interface. It worked fine up to svn_B37, but B38 and B39 don''t appear to have it deployed. I can start the web console server "/usr/sbin/smcwebserver start" and log in as root but ZFS does not appear in the list of applications. Is there something additional I need to do?

Hi, Since 3.2.4 (maybe earlier, but I doubt it), one important feature does not work anymore for me: I cannot break ACL inheritance anymore in the Windows ACL editor. With previous Samba versions, I entered the "Advanced" dialog of the Windows ACL editor and unchecked the flag "Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects.
