[CentOS] Thanks to every one
Thanks to all offers free service to provide Centos. Why? After I had the BIOS for the laptop T440 & docking station had I had immediately after the first installation works, without any failures. Since I know how hard such a work is, I thank everyone in the community to make that possible. Without a stable base I can not perform my Linux tests. Since I often have the time micht Rolling releases like ArchLinux or every half year, I know at the latest after a year, a Fedora update to perform is CentOS exactly the correct. I do not need the GUI support as in OpenSuSE, because who comes times from the shell knows what I mean. Most cluster nodes in my work are computing machines with an average run time of 220 days, usually over a year before they need a reboot. When I think about my virtual Windows 10, which every week requires a restart. I had already more than 30 distros active in my hands, but none read so easily. Of course you can always improve something here and there and yet it comes on a good basis. Furthermore, I find the handling of rpm easily understandable. Small supplement to my repo: - I provide the packages of my work - They are not signed because I do not see you directly as an additional repository for everyone, rather than as an exponential fundus. - Each external repostory changes the basic system. - new dependencies to the packages. - Users also indirectly depend on it. - Repositories in the past have already led to a new split of the basis. Best example: Debian -> Ubuntu -> Linux Mint. I don't like that point at all. - The holder is bound, in a certain way, to the care and demand of the Community. - I definitely miss the time. All in all ... thanks to everyone Andy ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Please, teach me: how do you manage to get Linux uptime this long (a year, or even 220 days). In my observation at least once every 45 days there is either Kernel security update or glibc one. And each one of them required machine reboot. And all Linux distributions are based both on Linux kernel and on glibc. Thanks in advance for your insight!

Re: [CentOS] Thanks to every one
Halo Valeri, let's think about what a hpc cluster is for. Second, one should always ask the question where security is to be applied,then one can come to the following decision: - The firewall is placed in front of the cluster. - After you have found a safe base for this, you freeze it. - We have a rsync of centos and epel on the head node. >From here, we can always reinstall a node (tftp / http) - To relieve the internal network printing, I create rpm packages that are installed on the nodes. All this happened about 3 years ago. Centos 1511 was established as a stable variant for the environment. It was one of my many different tasks in my work. The physicists and mathematicians who count there need high durations. My decision much on Centos because: - free - Maintaining until the year 2024, longer than the cluster will live. My way in the beginning was hard, because I had to learn everything from the scratch and I'm no longer the youngest, but my feeling gave me right.

Sometimes the security that is fixed in a new kernel is inconsequential in your environment; sometimes the external security on your network is such that the attack vector is tiny. You make a judgement based on your needs. > > > The physicists and mathematicians who count there need high durations. Yes. I too run HPC clusters and I have had uptimes of over 1000 days - clusters that are turned on when they are delivered and turned off when they are obsolete. It is crucial for long running calculations that you have a stable OS - you have never seen wrath like a computational scientist whose 200 day calculation has just failed because you needed to reboot the node it was running on. > > My decision much on Centos because: > > - free > - Maintaining until the year 2024, > longer than the cluster will live. > And stability ...

[CentOS] Getting started with mod_security
Hi, I'm currently fiddling with mod_security, and before going any further, I simply wanted to ask here for any recommended documentation/tutorials on the subject. There seems to be a lot of information about mod_security out there, and right now I have a bit of a hard time wrapping my head around it. I'm grateful for any suggestions.

Although the default language is English, I would like to be able to write Chinese text in various applications. I seem to remember this was very easy to do in Centos 6 and Gnome: possibly only requiring only a simple 'yum groupinstall "Chinese Support"' after which I could use iBus to switch between languages. This does not seem to work in Centos 7. These days, I use fcitx-anthy on CentOS (which took some work to set up, but ibus-anthy, at least, (for Japanese) worked pretty well. I have instructions, again, for Japanese, but quite possibly applicable at http://srobb.net/jpninpt.html#CentOS6 I'm going to add that a quick look through pkgs.org shows that CentOS-7x does have packages for fcitx-pinyin and a few other Chinese engines, and it might be worth considering making the switch. It seems (general impression on my part) to be replacing ibus in a lot of places, in the same way ibus gradually replaced scim. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos Still have not solved my problem above, i.e., after installing fcitx I can switch between US English and a European language but not to Chinese. I run the Mate Desktop on CentOS 7 and the configuration tool for fcitx that has been installed in the Settings Panel complains that a fcitx-config/fcitx-configtool program is missing. I have not been able to find that program on the 'net and am hoping someone else - anyone - is using fcitx for input of an Asian language in CentOS7/Mate... By the way, LibreOffice seems to have a couple of Chinese fonts installed, I am not sure I need to install additional fonts for the OS? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos After leaving this along for several weeks I made another attempt at trying to get fcitx up and running on CentOS 7 and the Mate desktop. I discovered that there is a diagnostic tool, fcitx-diagnose, that provided some additional information. One of the missing programs was the fcitx-configtool that lacked the GUI part and that so far I have been unable to find on the 'net. It seems that the appropriate GUI tool would be fcitx-config-gtk3 and is necessary for configuring fcitx. Does anyone have fcitx-config-gtk3 up and running? I have to vent and say that I am very, very surprised that this tool for entering Asian text on CentOS 7 is so poorly developed, poorly documented and poorly packaged. One would have thought that the Asian market for RHEL/CentOS 7 would be of sufficient importance for all relevant programs to be available in one of the key repositories. I am under the impression that fcitx, considered the replacement of iBus used in CentOS 6 - and which worked flawlessly - has not been updated since 2013. Further, the developers have not bothered with a proper support website, instead most information is absent. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
