Re: [CentOS] CentOS 6.3 - KDE login screen configuration problems

2012-12-01 Thread Mike Watson
The last reply to this subject said to modify /etc/sysconfig/desktop to change GDM to KDM. This would then enable the KDE login screen instead of the default Gnome. However, when I checked my CentOS 6.3 system, there was no such file, no /etc/sysconfig/desktop. I've not been able to find any metho

[CentOS] Question: How to utilize multi-core CPUs

2012-12-23 Thread Mike Watson
I've installed CentOS 6.3 on a quad-four box. The model only indicated dual core but CentOS is telling me there are four. This is the first multi-core Linux installation I've had. What is the best way to utilize the multi-core CPUs? I'd like to distribute the load but I'm unsure how to do that.
