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.

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

The Aspire One is one of those netbooks that have become so popular recently. I've installed CentOS on the hard drive model, and have been considering doing a wiki article about it, and probably will unless there are strenuous objections. The objections might come from the fact that outside drivers are required for wireless, webcam, sound, and even wired ethernet. I have an article on my

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

It was the mid/late-90s, but I seem to recall Bourne being the default shell, although sh/ksh/csh were all available with a typical install.

I have a page where I document getting the increasingly popular AR5007EG Atheros wireless card working. (This is the card used in the Asus EEE PC). The current article covers several distributions, but would be modified to just cover CentOS. It does, however, involve getting third party software, as the rpmforge repos don't have the necessary drivers. (Apparently, it's a bit of a

This might show up twice, I think I sent it from a bad address previously. If so, please accept my apologies. In Fedora 22, one developer (and only one) decided that if the password chosen during installation wasn't of sufficient strength, the install wouldn't continue. A bug was filed, and there was also a great deal of aggravation about it on the Fedora testing list. So, it was

Heh, I guess I've used good passwords in my installs then. -- Scott Robbins PGP

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

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

Hi All, Hi All, Here is a situation where everyone can read to, but not write to or delete, the shares on our Samba server: We moved the file server a few weeks ago - split off some files to a new Windows file server - and users could read but not write files to the old Samba server after it was renamed (SAN to OLDSAN). It turned out SELinux was running, which I disabled, rebooted, and all

There are now several R geographic user groups, and a few have mailing lists on the R mailing list system. Thanks to Martin M, there's also a pointer to a page I'm maintaining to list/describe the groups. The page is at http://macnash.telfer.uottawa.ca/RUG.html Contact me if you have a listing. I'm prepared to wikify it if there is sufficient interest. John Nash
