similar to: CentOS 4 update backlog

Some people don't know how to conduct themselves on usenet and mailing lists. Despite the mailing list guidelines being crystal clear about no html posting and not top-posting we have people still doing so. People still use text-readers to access the mailing list so you could be denying access to these people by flouting the mailing list guidelines. This is an example of top-posting

I have a choice of CentOS 4/5 and Fedora 9 on a laptop. I have not use CentOS 5 on a desktop but have used CentOS 4 and Fedora 9. I found the Fedora Gnome not as appealing as the CentOS 4 clearlooks. Any opinions from someone who has used CentOS 4/5 and Fedora? I'm not a KDE fan so KDE users need not reply. Regards, Vandaman.

Do people have wet underwear for nothing over XEN? See http://www.redhat.com/promo/qumranet/ <snip> Q: Will Red Hat continue to support and contribute to Xen? A: Yes. Red Hat will support Xen until at least 2014 (seven years after the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5).

In the yum priorities page on the wiki Akemi Yagi suggests http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities [base], [addons], [updates], [extras] ... priority=1 [centosplus],[contrib] ... priority=2 Third Party Repos ... priority=N (where N is > 10 and based on your preference) If you have rpmforge, kbs, epel all set up at 10 then wouldn't those also potentially overwrite

Off course people are going to ask. In my opinion as long as a topic is marked OT, it is preferable to one not marked but one in which the OP has not even done basic research on his problem. One distro had a

I may need a strong shot of coffee but I though putting "hide files = /~*/" as follows in the samba config file would hide files with a tilde. [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes hide files = /~*/ Unfortunately after restarting the server the files are still visible. Regards, Vandaman.

Unless I'm mistaken, does it look like Centos 4.7 is missing an update released on December 3rd 2008? Upstream details :- http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0989.html An updated tmpwatch package that fixes various bugs is now available. The tmpwatch utility recursively searches through specified directories and removes files which have not been accessed in a specified period of time.

OT Mailing List Spam This might be slightly off-topic but as the source of spam is probably a spammer getting emails from this list, I reported him and his service provider should cut off his/her ugly head. I got an email of the classic 419 scam from a "El Amir Assadallah" <rdjir001 at eircom.net>. This has just come if from the abuse department :- Dear Vandaman, Thank you for

A quick question on the fasttrack repo which is now up to date with upstream. Why is the fasttrack repo not in the main CentOS-Base.repo file but contrib which has never had anything is included in the main CentOS-Base.repo file? The goal of CentOS is to be binary-compatible with upstream so fasttrack is "more important" in this regard than contrib. Upsteam ships with the main channels

I don't log into the CentOS forum, CentOS chat but I don't know why the docs were removed from http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/docs/ I also had a look on the CentOS forum and the forum FAQ still links to the above location. Example http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/docs/html/rhel-rg-en-4/s1-grub-installing.html Not everyone uses IRC/Forum/Developers mailing list so for the benefit of

Is there a utility such as rpmfind that exists for enterprise rpms? One could locate rpms from various repos e.g. - Centos base, extras, plus - EPEL - RPMForge - KBS repos Due to the requirement of a subscription, upstream or others like Oracle Unbreakable linux couldn't be listed.

Anyone here familiar with Cyrus IMAP and its util ipurge? We'd like to set auto deletion of our users' spambox folders, but I'm a bit paranoid about its functionality. The main things that confuse me are from the man page: "Ipurge deletes messages from the mailbox(es) specified by mailbox-pattern" with no indication as to what defines "mailbox-pattern"

Greetings -- in the "Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO" chapter 14.1 on bfifo/pfifo it says that: "you can use this qdisc to determine the backlog on your interface". But it does not say exactly how. Command [#tc -s qdisc ls] outputs the number of packets sent so far but it does not output any info about the backlog. My first question is whether a command

Hi. We have a Windows laptop that has gotten too slow, it's borderline unusable, so I burned a CentOS 5.2 32-bit Live CD, just to try it out in the home. It boots up fine, but it does not connect to the Internet... Now we normally connect through a wireless network, there are several around here -- on the Windows box we choose the network to which to connect... but on CentOS there is

There's grub 0.97 on CentOS 5. The manual at http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html says it is for 0.97. However, it mentions for instance a program grub-set-default that is not present in grub-0.97-13.2. It also mentions grub.conf options savedefault and fallback. Are these available in the CentOS grub? I tried with savedefault and it does not create a

Thanks go out to whoever it was that fixed the AppDB so that it's now running nice and quick again. I can now login and submit applications/tests etc. There's a backlog of 500+ submissions which will take 2-4 hours to clear, hopefully this should be cleared within the next few days. Nick
