The author finds it to be easy to install and configure, and a solid desktop platform to use, but notes that the distribution's Beryl 3D graphics support can be challenging to get working.

He explains how the 'tivoisation' clause was narrowed to encourage wider adoption, how the Novell-MS deal is tackled in two directions, and why the Additional Requirements section was dismantled, among other things. Possibly an interesting sidenote is an interview he gave straight after the talk.

I'm a noob with linux and need to run CentOS because Redhat Enterprise cost bucks. I'm need to verify if certain packages are installed so I can install and test a program. This is what I've done so far:

 

I used the rpm -q command for these programs and verified that these packages were installed:

 

httpd

mod_ssl

nmap

openssh

openssl

 

I ran the same command for postgresql but it shows the package is not installed even though when I installed CentOS I selected it to be installed. I found some help online that suggested I use the 'yum search postgresql' command; I tried it and a bunch of entries showed 'base' 'update' and installed. It is a large list so I won't include it in this post unless asked for.

 

Can I assume that it is installed? Is there another way I can check?

 

Any help is appreciated.

Hi folks,

 

CentOS 4.4 amd64 - server

 

I follow following howto building "Virtual Users"

Virtual Users With Postfix, PostfixAdmin, Courier, Mailscanner, ClamAV On CentOS

[/url][url=http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_users_po...r_clamav_centos]http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_users_po...r_clamav_centos

 

I started "screen" recording all typing/keystrokes and output on the Terminal.

 

"sudo" sometimes requested for password. root password did not work. Another time it worked without requesting password. I can't understand WHY.

 

If root password did not satisfy the request I have to run "su" or "su -" to proceed. After executing commands ran "exit" to exit.

 

$ sudo cat /etc/sudoers | tail

Hi,

I've got a server running ubuntu, for file & web, it has been working fine ever since I set it up. Although recently the ethernet adaptor in it has stopped working, meaning that in order to make it connect to the network I have to de-activate & then activate it.

 

I can't understand what's causing this, since it was working one time, then when I rebooted it just went.

 

Anyone got any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Lee :)
