I personally have a Fedora machine that I keep updated and do some work on all the time learning/testing. I just seamlessly upgraded it from Fedora 25 to Fedora 26 using a couple of dnf commands .. awesome experience actually. We don't have to pick sides here. There is no reason not to run Fedora alongside CentOS, it certainly allows you to understand where the next CentOS releases will look like well before they are released. Obviously looking at Fedora 26 and the new Modularity components will be helpful for anyone who will be upgrading to newer RHEL or CentOS releases in the future. A big thank you to both Matthew and the entire Fedora team on another quality release. Not to mention the help that many Fedora team members are providing in producing EPEL and also as members of the CentOS SIG process. All 3 of the distributions (Fedora, RHEL, CentOS) are better because of this effort.

Thank you.

You have partly doubled that config by using both a service definition and a port definition. For instance service ssh and port 22/tcp. Same for smtp and port 25. You find the list of pre-defined services under /usr/lib/firewalld/services/. To give you an example. You can define # firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http which enables port 80/tcp for the public zone. You can check how the service is defined by # firewall-cmd --info-service=http You could achieve the same port opening by issuing firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp More or less a matter of taste how to define things. But you better avoid causing doubled rules. See your "iptables -L -n -v --line" output and you'll find multiple rules defined 2 times.

[CentOS] Using GIMP on Centos-7, problem
Wondering if anyone here has ever tried installing this https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer as a gimp plugin in Centos-7, with gimp 2.8.16?? I find the installation instructions (for the binary tarball) are minimal and whatever I do, it doesn't seem to appear in the gimp menus, as it should. I've used an older version (0.14) from years ago in older versions of gimp, but how does one make this newer one work on C7? I also tried building the source, but even "autoconfig" spewed some errors that are greek to me, so I, for the moment, gave up on that. Advice will be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Those 2 headphones work correctly in CentOS 6... What could I do to get the same behavior on CentOS 7 and this damned Gnome 3 ? Thanks for your help... On Centos-7, some apps use PulseAudioVolumeControl (pavucontrol) instead of the one that defaults to the top panel. (I am running Mate, not Gnome--yuck--so YMMV). I wish there was a way to control all from a single place, but AFAICF there isn't. for some things I use the one on the top panel (which is Mate Volume Control) and for others I gotta start up pavucontrol. it's a nuisance. My USB phones seem to be controlled by the pavu control, while the speakers tend to be controlled by the mate volume control. and I can't get my old analog (1/8 inch plug) headphones to work at all anymore, no matter what control I use or how I poke at it, all the sound comes from the speakers (which are plugged into the line out [green} jack on the rear of the computer, while the headphones are plugged into the green jack on the front.) digressing a little... A few years ago my systems all supported auto-switching between speakers and headphones when the phone plug was inserted, but the only one I have now that does that is my netbook. the current desk-side system and its last couple of predecessors now do not do that.
