Higher end Dells > seem to be OK (eg 'Workstations', servers, etc.). In October I found a discard Dell Optiplex GX50 - older low-end dell. Found it in an illegal dump pile in a field. Replaced dead hard drive, re-attached heat sink to CPU (had become detached, probably when dumped - perhaps a blessing, whoever built it had used way too much thermal paste). It's been running CentOS 5.x 24/7 since without a hitch. But for laptops I think you are correct, and my found computer did have a problem (dead drive) when found. -=- Back to laptop question - I have always preferred the Thinkpad T20 series over anything else. I would suggest running Ubuntu on it, I have moved all my desktop stuff to Ubuntu. Most laptop vendors that I have seen that pre-install Ubuntu install the 32-bit version. I use 64-bit and have no regrets, so I would recommend burning the 64-bit iso and installing that. Two notes though with 64bit - 1) Don't use the Ubuntu packaged flash plugin. It is 32-bit and will pull in a bunch of 32-bit plugins. Get the "alpha" 64-bit plugin for Linux from Adobe. Works very well for me (in Ubuntu and CentOS) - and is more stable than the 32-bit plugin running in a wrapper. 2) I have no clue about installing a native 64-bit Java plugin. I don't have one and don't want one. Maybe icedtea is working for 64-bit better now? I got sick and tired of Java media in web pages being generally crappy and problematic, so I refuse to install a Java plugin anymore, but if you need Java plugin (IE for your work) check to make sure 64-bit browser plugin exists before going 64-bit (though 32-bit may work via wrappers) General Desktop Note - CentOS or Ubuntu or Fedora - 1) Give Google Chrome and Midori a try. I really like both, Chrome is a little more polished but not open source, Midori is open source but has some bugs still with HTML5 multimedia (IE it won't play them if they are not set to autostart, but also won't revert to fallback) 2) If you don't mind using software that isn't FOSS, spend the money on the fluendo codec package - http://www.fluendo.com/shop/product/complete-set-of-playback-plugins/ It handles h.264/WMV/DivX/etc. extremely well, "just works", and comes packaged in both RPM and .deb (as well as tarball). It does not provide AC3 decoding, that's my only gripe, but it does just about everything else much better in my experience than the "free" gstreamer plugins. I haven't tried the fluendo DVD player (which does do AC3 decoding) but reviews I've seen on it are not very good, stick with something like VLC or Xine (my choice) for DVD playback seems to be better. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Hello I will briefly draw the situation Router with one interface eth0 , to local network 10.123.0.0/16 on a local network ADSL modem with IP 10.123.10.11 I want to use 10.123.10.11 as a connection to internet . Because of that I have created default route "ip route add default via 10.123.10.11 dev eth0" I do not want my ADSL modem to do NATing , since it shows to be slow. I have configured static route on ADSL modem "10.123.0.0/16 via 10.123.10.11" which ensures traffic comming from internet will ge to my router. Now i want to configure NATTING. My concern is, how to create iptables rule which will match only the traffic going via 10.123.10.11 and only for this will make SNAT. If I will do iptables -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 --j SNAT --to-source 213.194.242.198 this will not work . I need to add there a magic words that only traffic going via 10.123.10.11 should be SNATted.

For instance if you try to ftp/scp the '/' dir, you will undoubtedly encounter /dev, /sys, and /proc. Any of which would cause your ftp session to run forever or until you filled the machine on the other end, because the files located within these directories are not really files, but operations and data sources (hard drives, random data, constant streams of data, etc).

[CentOS] ADSL ppp0, persist
Hello guys, I have two ISP's connected to my router. One via eth2, second one via ADSL modem, with ppoe doing on my Centos 5 . The problem I have is, that when ADSL fails , interface ppp0 is removed. This also removes my static routes configured for this interface. I do not want that, as I have load balancing configured and default route is removed when ppp0 interface disapears. This is my ifcfg-ppp0 config : USERCTL=yes BOOTPROTO=dialup NAME=DSLppp0 DEVICE=ppp0 TYPE=xDSL ONBOOT=yes PIDFILE=/var/run/pppoe-adsl.pid FIREWALL=NONE PING=.

Well it does but only for a couple of seconds. I suspect this to be other parameters problem (CONNECT_TIMEOUT or PPPOE_TIMEOUT). Can you please help me with this? Thank you in advance!

On Fedora 12 you have the middle and right button with the trackpad (with resp two and three fingers, along with two fingers scrolling etc.). It works very well. Even before I regularly used Linux on Macs (used to be PPC) and I had keyboard shortcuts to simulate clicks (which is what Mac OS users had to do as well) On CentOS this is indeed the biggest problem. (I did not succeed in simulating the buttons as I used to do on Fedora! any hints/ideas would be welcome...).

I am curious as to what exactly is your topology and which is its intended use. I have found no issues wrt STP but you seemingly need to assign different vlans to your VM interfaces, depending on which bridge they are attached to (i.e. roughly 1 bridge = 1 vlan).

Unless the machine running iptables has a NIC with a IP address of 213.194.242.198 I don't believe it's possible with ipchains. The MODEM is the interface between 213.x and 10.y networks. If you created a DMZ by moving your LAN to say the 192.z network (or a different 10.y network) then you should be able to get it work with 2 NICS in the ipchain machine. In this case, you would route between the 10 network and the 192 network with 2 NICs and SNAT the 10 network. The WAN would be the 213.x network, the DMZ would be 10.y, and the LAN would be the 192.z network. -- Enjoy global warming while it lasts. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I'd consider using dump to dump each ext3fs file system, then use 'restore' to restore each of these dumps to appropriately sized file systems for the new target system. the source system should be shut down to single user mode, and all file systems umounted except / when you do this. you can pipe the output of the dump to a ssh command to write the dump to drive on a remote system. for instance... # dump -0uv /dev/sda2 | ssh r...@target -c "restore -rf - /mnt/var" where /dev/sda2 is the /var file system on the local system, and /mnt/var is the temporary home of the new disk, freshly formatted, with the new /usr mounted as /mnt/usr of course, you repeat this for each file system on the source system. See the man pages for dump and restore. Don't forget to install the grub boot loader on this new disk, then move it to the target hardware, which presumably is near identical to the original system. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
