From one newbie to another, I suggest you look at the CentOS site, in particular the page http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=3 As I understand it, RHEL is not based on Fedora. Fedora is something of a testbed for things that often appear in future versions of RHEL, so the resemblance is not surprising. RHEL is industrial strength Linux and so does not have the latest but still wobbly innovations. What it does have is good and stable, and quite recent enough for most purposes. CentOS takes the RHEL source code, which is Open Source, and compiles it as CentOS. They aim to make it totally compatible with RHEL. CentOS is as stable as RHEL, and has what looks like a better update/upgrade process. If your project is on RHEL, then CentOS is the tool for you, just make sure you install the matching version.

Centos5 and X respawning problem
by Scott Ehrlich 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

I just installed CentOS 5 on a Sony Vaio V505 (PCG-V505DC2P) and it worked perfectly. A full yum update also worked fine. The user made various changes to it over the weekend, and how I'm faced with trying to undo endless "INIT: Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes" error messages. I've spent half the day googling various answers. init 5 will not do anything. startx and xinit do work, but don't provide the proper window manager nor X window sessions. Now that I think of it, after the first yum update, the system defaulted to a tty, and I had to CNTL-Alt-F7 to switch to the X display. I also tried to install the ATI video driver, but that claimed an error in the end. I tried to comment out x:5:respawn... at #Run xdm in runlevel 5 at the end of /etc/inittab then initiate init 5 from a tty session, but that didn't do any good. Ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks. Scott

System hang on messagebus -> problem with ldap?
by Sebastian Marten 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

Hi list, I've made a new CentOS 5 install with all updates. My users are sored in a ldap directory. If i reboot the machine, CentOs hangs at: starting messagebus I found the same problem at Fedora 5. The solution should be to change "etc/init.d/ladp" from 27 to 21 so it starts before messagebus (22) So is this the "right" solution or is there a other way? Thanks

Is there a source for Suspend2 available as an rpm for Centos 4.5 and/or 5.0? And to use it would it be necessary to recompile the kernel?

mdadm Linux Raid 10: is it 0+1 or 1+0?
by Miguel Medalha 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

The relevance of this question can be found here: http://aput.net/~jheiss/raid10/ I read the mdadm documents but I could not find a positive answer. I even read the raid10 module source but I didn't find the answer there either. Does someone here know it? Thank you!

CentOS 3.9
by Dag Wieers 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

Hi, Red Hat started releasing security advisories and update packages that are part of RHEL3 U9. Still, on RHN there are no RHEL3 U9 ISO images released yet. As usual, CentOS will make available CentOS 3.9 when it is deemed ready. So there is no need to ask when it is going to be released :) Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]

Problems with UserDir directive on CentOS 5
by Niki Kovacs 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

Hi, I'm currently setting up a local LAMP server to test various apps. Starting from the out-of-the-box configuration of Apache, I test it, and it's OK: http://localhost shows Apache's default page OK in Firefox. Now I edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and replace 'UserDir disabled' by 'UserDir public_html'. I restart Apache. Then, as a normal user (kikinovak): $ cd $ mkdir public_html I edit a basic index.html file, then put it into this directory. I open Firefox at http://localhost/~kikinovak/ ... and I get the following error message: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /~kikinovak/ on this server. Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at localhost Port 80 Q: what did I do wrong? (I've done this successfully on Slackware and Debian before) Any suggestions? Niki
