list suggestion
by Francois Caen 17 Dec '04

17 Dec '04

Hello, I'm fairly new to CentOS and to this list. I was wondering if the possibility of creating an announce-only list for CentOS had been discussed before? I'm mostly interested in patch releases and official announcements from the distro maintainers. (great job, BTW! :-) Thanks, Francois

Re: [Centos] Centos as a desktop

Make sure you add in Dag's JRW> repository, Hmm. We run CentOS 3 as a desktop OS here in a couple of labs and on faculty labs with no real complaints. I do have a bunch of additional packages that I build and install, but most of those are TeX related (newer teTeX from Fedora, gv, AUC-TeX, kile, etc.). Now, *I* build and run Garnome on my workstation, but most users are reasonably happy with the standard interface. I do also give them XMMS, but only faculty have disk space available for music files (and there aren't any encoders). And we have a newer Mozilla, Firefox, Acrobat Reader, and so forth, as well as MATLAB, Maple, and other math software. It definitely works for us.

Announcement: 3ware 9500S Driver disk for ISO Installs now available for 32 bit CentOS
by Seth Bardash 17 Dec '04

17 Dec '04

We have built and packaged a driver install disk for CentOS 3.3 for the 3ware 9500S series of SATA Raid controllers to allow iso installation and booting from a 3ware 9500S based RAID array. Its available at: http://www.integratedsolutions.org/drivers.html We only ask that you log in so we can send you update notices as new drivers become available. We will not use the information for any other purposes and will purge the database after 6 months. These drivers are based on the 3ware 9.0.2 sources and have been built for 32 bit CentOS 3.3 for the up, smp and hugemem kernel versions of 2.4.21-20.c0.EL to run on athlon and opteron based systems. A newer version is in the works based on the 3ware 9.1.5.2 version of the sources and should be available within a few weeks. This version should increase RAID 5 performance by 30% (per the 3ware people). These driver disks are free but have no waranty. They have been tested on a dual opteron based system running the 32 bit version of CentOS 3.3. (We needed this version for application compatability). The system boots with a warning about a tainted driver but functions fine (we compiled the drivers on a whitebox linux system). This will be fixed in the next release. We hope to make available the 32 bit CentOS 3.3 driver disk, 64 bit CentOS 3.3 driver disk and a CentOS 3.3 modified install script for 3dm2 within the next few weeks. Any suggestions on making these offerings better will be appreciated. More to follow. Thanks for the bandwidth, Seth Bardash Integrated Solutions and Systems 1510 North Gate Road Colorado Springs, CO 80921 719-495-5866 719-495-5870 Fax 719-337-4779 Cell -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
