I like to use freenx to host the desktop and the NX client to display it. That should work regardless of whether the desktop is a VM or not and regardless of the OS or location of the display - and it wouldn't surprise me if it performs better than whatever the built-in KVM mechanism uses. Even if you normally work locally, you may find it handy to be able to pick up the display from elsewhere with everything still running and have good performance. -----Original Message----- Not sure if freeNX is the best way to go.

updatedb taking too long
by Tim Dunphy 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

Hi list For some reason mlocate is taking a long time when I run the updatedb command. Have a look! [root@beta:~] #time updatedb real 19m48.729s user 0m0.400s sys 0m2.728s It's not a big volume by any means [root@beta:~] #df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/xvda1 75G 9.1G 63G 13% / So I'm wondering what could be causing this command to take so long. I'm running centos 5.8 in a xen vm. I was hoping I could get some advice that would help me troubleshoot this problem. Thanks!

Hi, I just tried to install CentOS 6.3 netinstall and got the error message -- Disc Not Found -- The CentOS disc was not found in any of your CDROM drives.

Log viewing and analysis tools

I have a requirement to allow our security officer to regularly view and analyze the logging and auditing results of one of the machines in our lab. He comes from the Microsoft Windows world and is not a *nix trained person. I know I can configure logwatch. I can also create a script containing various 'aureport' runs into a cron job. Any recommendations for a GUI-based tool that would be easy for him to learn? Dave M

vi defaults in 6.x
by Les Mikesell 26 Aug '12

26 Aug '12

When I use copy/paste text into a window running vi, if there is a single line starting with '#', in the pasted content, it adds a # to all subsequent lines and indents each an additional level. Is there some way to eliminate this bizarre behavior, preferably globally and permanently so I don't have to repeat some change for every machine/user where I might log in? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com
