They are dirt cheap on ebay, from Hong Kong with free shipping.  I would
go all the way and max it out.

I would also recommend that you go for a light weight DM such as XFCE
which you can install from EPEL, this will help a fair bit on that older
hardware with the performance as opposed to gnome 3.

Rather than googling for articles, which unless you have the experience
already to filter the chaff from the wheat, here's a link the an article I
wrote a little while back.

https://www.hogarthuk.com/?q=node/11

It'll take you through building a minimal package, fedora guidelines (which
even for personal/internal stuff can help keep clean easier to maintain
spec files), usage of mock for clean builds and repo creation.

[CentOS] centos7: ntpd not started on boot

Hi,

I have got problems with the ntp daemon.

It is enabled in systemd but is not started on boot.

I see nothing ntpd related /var/log/messages or journactl during the
boot phase. Seems like no attempt is made to start it at all.

Is there something that need to be done besides enabling it with systemctl?

===>

when buying memory or hdd, i check both ebay and amazon for price,
warranty and shipping.

last purchases i made were all from amazon.

1 TB sata hdd, 2 ddr 1x2 GB memory and a power supply for an emachine.

1 TB sata hdd, 2 ddr 1x2 GB memory for tower box.

turned out emachine had more than a power supply, so 2nd hdd and power
supply went into tower box.

tower box is oem mainboard for ide drives, bought an ide2sata adapter for
it. now it has 2 1 TB sata drives, 1 250 GB ide and 1 ide cd/dvd r/w drive,
1 usb cd/dvd r/w usb drive, 1 hd 3.5 floppy, 1 dc2120 tape drive on floppy
controller, 1 dc2120 / travan on scsi controller.

no front cover so all drive will fit and have access.

i tricked it with a 3 position momentary-center-momentary switch for
reset | off | on.

i took a much needed nap while pulling 7 x86_64 iso. it was not until i
started to run checksum to verify that i saw i pulled the 'everything'
iso file. now have the 4.0 GB dvd iso file.

rebooting to install correct iso.

back later. again.

if you have a NAS available you could "dd" the the hdd to .img and free up
the space.  Personally I would pull it, resources permitting, and replace
with a another hdd, say 7200 or 10k rpm to buy some speed.  Not sure if
your system will support a ssd but might be worth a look.  Then again,
depending on use, there is the consideration of diminishing return of value

well, i never.

never enjoyed installing an os as much as i did centos 7.

selection and setup was not difficult, all went well. i do like the new
design of process better than previous.

fun really started when those inline prompts started. i though i was terse.
those prompts have me beat. it took a couple of errors to see just what was
what, then breezed thru it. reminded me a little of cromemco install back
in s100 days.

did not like logging into gnome. that creature needs to stay in front lawns
keeping yards safe.

did figured out how to get kde, had to change my color scheme so i could
see what i had set up. slide show of my 'girls' is running ok. would not
liked to have lost them.

still need to go back to 'system settings > applications appearance' to do
some tweaking. panel bar has lighter color for text making it a little
difficult to read. having 16 to 20 progs open makes for a bit of squinting.


all in all, my congratulations to centos crew for putting together a real
fine product and procedure.

my most grateful appreciation to repliers who help me get this install.

especially to John R Pierce for staying with me thru all of it. most
helpful.

In addition to the above's excellent instructions, I'd also like to

Re: [CentOS] LSI SATA MegaRaid & Centos 7 build 1511

On 07/28/2016 03:42 PM, Fawzy Ibrahim wrote:

So; there's no hope to install Centos 7 on this H/W?



You need to better identify the card and determine if it's one of the 
drivers that was dropped.  If so, you'd have to build a driver disk and 
maintain your own driver builds for each kernel update. It's not "no 
hope" exactly, but it would probably take a moderate amount of 
experience to keep running.


I'd be wary of hardware used as far back as CentOS 5, but I don't see 
driver changes between RHEL 6 and 7 that I'd expect to impact an LSI 
Megaraid card.  The old "megaraid" driver was dropped in RHEL 6, leaving 
just the megaraid_sas driver in 6 and 7.  If you run release 6 on that 
system (boot a live image), look at "lspci" and "lsmod" output.  The 
latter will tell you what drivers are in use, and should be useful to 
tracking down support in release 7.
