That's actually a very good point. The only thing is that the machine doesn't generate any revenue and so it'll heavlily depend on the price of the RAID controler really... I know there is none at the moment which is why I was looking into dd and tar. I've read that dd physically read/write every blocks of the disk whereas tar handles `zero-files` differently... Thus my question! > Never a good idea to run X when you dont need to.

But if you really wanted X check out > 'yum grouplist' and 'yum groupinstall "X Window System"' Good point, and I'm fully aware that one of the reasons win2k3 requires so much ram is the bloody UI! But I figured that with 2 ghz... I might give it a try! My concern tho' is really about configuring X... I've installed Centos on a test server here, and the X config is based on the server video/audio cards + monitor... What happens there there are none!!? :P Thx for your time... You made me realise that even RAID1 could be usefull (don't know why, I was under the impression that with only two disks raid wasn't worth it...!? Cheers Brad!

Hey John, that's a very interesting point you're raising. However how 'compatible' is openvpn with an M$ network? I mean is it a seemless integration or are there flaws? Having a quite Microsoft oriented network the idea sure would help in integrating new non-Ms servers to the network... Thanks for your input!

network prob on Centos 4.4/HP DL320 G2
by fredex 13 Sep '06

13 Sep '06

Hi! I've installed Centos 4.4 on a machine at work (it's a HP Proliant DL-320 G2 rackmout server that serves my desktop). In recent days (Centos 4.4 has only been installed for a little over a week), like, since Wed or Thu last week, every time I reboot Kudzu wants to remove the network adaptors then reinstall them and breaks the network. I've gone to the point of disabling one of the network ports in the BIOS (since I only use one of them anyway), and at first it worked when I rebooted, after doing the obligatory net configuration. Then the next time I rebooted Kudzu again wanted to remove and reinstall the network and it again didn't work after the reboot. Today I had to reboot again (because X went nutso and I lost my mouse pointer--I know, a reboot is overkill, don't remind me) and once again it broke the network when it rebooted. The network config GUI applet could not activate the net, it kept complaining that the MAC address of the adapter was not the one it expected. I removed (as the previous time) all the NETWORK items from /etc/sysconfig/hwconf and rebooted again, after which it came up. But I fully expect it to be broken yet again when I reboot next time. This machine ran RHEL WS 2.1 for something like 3 years and never had this kind of trouble, even with both ports enabled in the BIOS. I always used the tg3 driver that came with Linux, not the driver that HP offers. The only RPM I've installed that I got from HP is the one that installs "hpasm", because that's the one that turns the fans from "screaming jet engine" into "low roar". (this system contains a dozen or so small fans, all of which rotate at a gazillion rpm, all not quite the same speed, so you get a dozen slightly different pitches, causing heterodyning and the resultant throbbing along with the screaming if you don't use the hpasm module.) Suggestions please? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .---- Fred Smith / ( /__ ,__. __ __ / __ : / / / / /__) / / /__) .+' Home: fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us / / (__ (___ (__(_ (___ / :__ 781-438-5471 -------------------------------- Jude 1:24,25 ---------------------------------
