Hi Chris, For my tests right now, I'm simply trying to get dual Centos up/running,
Based on what you've said, there are errors in what I'm trying to accomplish. You wouldn't have a few mins to walk me through this would you. I'm convinced that this is doable, and that whatever mistakes I've made are probably subtle/easy to correct. Do you happen to know of a good tutorial for this that walks through all the steps.
