Hello, are there any best practices for the length of user names? I tend to limit them to 8 characters and to follow the pattern 'first letter of the first name'+'first 7 letters of the last name' (e.g. mbaudier). But people are sometimes frustrated with having their last name truncated and I wonder if limiting the user name to 8 characters is not a kind of superstition coming

Hello, I'm considering buying a second-hand Thinkpad T60 (with 2 GB RAM), as a secondary laptop in order to run CentOS 5 on the field. My main focus is therefore to have something robust, reliable and above all well compatible with CentOS.

> Then I hope to finish my tutorial on installing Eclipse > Helios for Centos 5.5 Is there anything special to be done? I just unzipped the SR1 distribution for RCP/RAP developers linux-gtk-x86_64 and it works without problem on an up to date CentOS 5.5 x86_64.

Hello, since I upgraded from CentOS x86_64 5.4 to 5.5, I noticed that Firefox has become significantly slower on GMail (or Google Apps Mail). The page becomes slow to scroll as soon as there are more than a few mails in a conversation (like in a typical CentOS mailing list thread). Did anyone else notice that as well? (I guess that I'm not the only GMail user around) Could I have missed

Hello, I'm currently travelling (in south-eastern Europe) with a netbook (Samsung NC 10) running CentOS 5.4 i386. I frequently try to access internet from bars or hotels (mostly via wireless). Although it works pretty often, it happens quite regularly that in some hotels I cannot access internet from CentOS while it is possible from Windows. This is the case in the hotel where I am currently

Hello, I'm currently setting up a virtualization infrastructure based on CentOS 5.4 x86_64 and KVM. I want to use LVM because of its flexibility, especially the ability to add more disk space to a guest if needed. We are considering using an hardware RAID1 with BBU as the lowest layer. My question is: where is it recommended to put the LVM? 1. On the host only In that case, the guests

I am slightly lost trying to attach some storage to a functioning virtual machine. If this where a real machine, I would simply be trying to mount a LVM volume. I have found a lot of documentation about adding storage pools, but I'm unsure if that is actually what I should be doing. Is that just for storage of the virtual machines themselves? Once I'd added my LVM volume group to virsh I

The latest updates to CentOS 5.5 seem to have broken the Java plugin, and have defeated any and all attempts to get it working again. I'm running CentOS 5.5 (32-bit) and Firefox 3.6.9 (installed from the CentOS repository); I've tried BOTH the openJDK plugin available through the Argeo repositories, and installing Java 1.6.0 directly from Sun/Oracle and creating the plugin soft link in
