centos courseware?
does anyone here have pointers or access to courseware that could be used to teach centos (5.4, i believe)? publicly-available, free C/W would, of course, be ideal, but if you have some decent training manuals that you're willing to license on a per-manual basis, i'm still willing to chat. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

RHEL, centos and seeing if i now understand this
ok, given the flurry of responses to my original post, let me see if i have a handle on this as i think i've finally figured it out and, yes, it does make sense. the scenario is that there is a very large software company in the area whose only officially supported linux platform is currently suse. however, they are getting increasing call to have their product run on red hat. for most

should trixbox system hang when ISP drops connection?
NEWBIE alert: i'm a linux person, not an asterisk person so i'm certainly capable of handling any linux-flavoured solution you can suggest. here's a note i got from a local company i know (some proper names removed): ===== start ===== Now and again our ISP goes down and when it does give us a hicup, the Asterisk system shuts down (not very forgiving). When it shuts down our phone

any significant differences between centos and OEL?
someone just pointed out to me that there is a distro called "oracle enterprise linux" which is effectively a re-branded RHEL, so i'm curious -- has anyone here used both centos and OEL and would there be any differences that would be worth caring about? the only thing i can think of that might be worthwhile is that OEL might change some of the default kernel parms thru

dm-crypt/LUKS the state of the art for block device encryption?
it's been a while since i've played with filesystem encryption so, on centos 5.4 (and other linux distros), is dm-crypt/LUKS considered to be the state of the art WRT encryption? i remember other solutions like loop-aes and others, but what's considered the gold standard these days? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

possible additional comment regarding newer PHP
again, from here: http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/CentOS5 regarding a newer version of PHP, a number of PHP experts that i know of suggest that, if you truly need an up-to-date version of PHP, you should: rpm -ivh http://rpms/famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm while remi collet's repo isn't official, it's accepted by numerous developers as a reliable source of newer PHP

can i run NFS *exclusively* off of v4?
is it possible to set up NFS on centos 5.5 so that it uses *only* version 4? i tried this not that long ago on fedora and was surprised to see a complaint when i tried to start the server and was told that i was missing required functionality of NFSv1, or something equally weird. i'll check the /etc/init.d/nfs script, but i think what got me into trouble was trying to use the entire set of

the ongoing wait for centos 5.4
at the risk of picking at that scab a bit longer, i'm going to toss out a comment regarding people still waiting for the public availability of centos 5.4. here: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2009-October/083743.html we read: "The last status (from twitter) is 2 days old with the '5.4 is baked! centos internal network will start syncing up today. Release ~ soon!'.

looking for cool, post-install things to do on a centos 5.5 system
(note: i asked this a few days ago but it *appears* that that post was tossed due to getting excessive bounces from my account. so i'm posting it again, apologies if you're seeing it a second time.) over the next several weeks, i'm teaching some courses in RHEL admin but (unsurprisingly) i'll be using centos 5.5. it's a decently-written, 3rd party course, all the generic,

how to build a centos kernel?
a couple folks on the local mailing list were asking about the mechanics of building a kernel for a centos system, and they seemed to suggest that there were some intricacies involved as opposed to other distros. i've never tried it -- is there a trick or something? got a pointer to the canonical web page that has the directions? thanks. rday --

xen vs kvm for virtualization on centos/rhel?
as i'm reviewing the courseware for the rhel (centos) course i'm teaching next week, i'm going to ask the occasional question, possibly technical, possibly more policy. first one involves the choice for virtualization. the course has a short section involving virt using xen but everything i've read suggests that red hat is concentrating on kvm for virt. thoughts on that? i

issues with 3rd party repos for centos
i'm reading the lowdown on 3rd party repos with respect to centos here: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories and i have a couple questions and observations. first, the entry for centosplus reads: "Popular packages from this repository include: postfix with database support, a rebuilt kernel with additional drivers & filesystem support, php5 and mysql5."

what people really mean when they say they're running "5.3"?
more a terminology usage question than anything else, but in a couple of weeks, i'll be teaching the first of a few sessions on RHEL admin and, unsurprisingly, i'll be using centos (as i've done in the past). when i asked the organizer to identify the specific version of RHEL that was being used at the client site, i was told 5.3 so i can easily install 5.3 on the classroom

[OT] introductory online kernel programming course
yes, it's OT but just in case folks here know someone who might be interested, i'm writing and publishing a course to introduce people to the joys of linux kernel programming: http://www.crashcourse.ca/introduction-linux-kernel-programming/introduction-linux-kernel-programming and, no, it's not free -- six months worth of course will cost you all of $39 (CAD), but the first four

a few simple questions about upgrading an "official" centos 7 release
again, some fairly trivial(?) questions about working with centos 7.4, given my time immersed in fedora so i want to make sure i'm not carrying over any bad habits. first, is there anything untoward in updating an installed version of centos 7.4 with a simple "yum update"? i'm well aware of keeping in mind the goal of stability with centos, so am unsure what the philosophy is

should vsftpd be disabled in favour of sftp for security reasons?
(another in an ongoing list of things i just want to clarify for the sake of future courses taught on centos.) from this RHEL doc page: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-openssh-server-config.html the reader is advised to, for the sake of security, remove/disable vsftpd, ostensibly in favour of sftp/sftp-server. really? i can obviously

recommended way to install source rpms?
yes, i've read the online docs and followed a link or two to find a simple way to do this, such as: http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/SystemTapOnCentOS so, these days, is that the canonical way to download source rpms? now, note that i'm not arguing about whether this is a good idea. in my circumstances, i want the ability to just "yum download" source rpms so that i can
