Re: [CentOS] Vote For CentOS :)

From: Simon Perreault <nomis80(a)lqt.ca> > I think you will agree that the difference between RHEL and Fedora > is greater than the one between CentOS and RHEL, enough for RHEL > to be a different distro from Fedora. As was Red Hat Linux (RHL) before it became Fedora Core (FC). Of course, all Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) packages start out as RHL/FC packages, and there is that 1:1 relationship. If you like Fedora Core, vote Fedora Core. If you like CentOS, vote CentOS. If you like RHEL w/SLAs, I'd vote RHEL (but that's just my viewpoint). But as I said, I think people will over-analyze things to death. People won't know about CentOS unless people vote for it, so if it's your favorite, just do so. -- Bryan J.

Re: Vote For CentOS :) -- yes, vote CentOS if it's what you like
by Bryan J. Smith <b.j.smith＠ieee.org> 02 Jun '05

From: Christopher Snow <cs(a)m0n0.co.uk> > If that's the case, shouldn't the credit vote go to Fedora? Disclaimer: This is 100% my _opinion_ (don't take it otherwise) 1. Credit At some point a lot of credit can go to a lot of projects. Yes, many are thanx to Red Hat -- by far the largest of any commercial entity. But then many are thanx to many maintainers in general. It's not really fair to them to give all credit to Red Hat by the same logic. 2. Who do you vote for? I think the purpose of the vote is to state your favorite distro that you install. If you believe CentOS is it, then vote for it. I would see it as, "I like RHEL, but I don't need SLAs." I'm sure a few will demonize it, but I think most people are fairly solid in that view. Now if you prefer a distro with SLAs, but just normally don't because of cost, I'd actually vote RHEL (or SLES if that is your preferrence) instead of CentOS. I guess I should actually read the wording of the vote, but it's kinda like cars. You can like a car without actually owning it. But don't feel any need to show loyalty to RHEL if you use CentOS, most people already know it's a replica of RHEL sans trademarks. > As in politics, your vote counts no matter the reason it is cast. Agreed. Vote what you want, don't try to analyze your vote. Far too many people do that only to get frustrated later. Just my $0.02, as always ... -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

From: Les Mikesell <lesmikesell(a)gmail.com> > If your favorite choice is accepting a contract that imposes limits on > where you can install free software that itself has a license that says > additional restrictions cannot be imposed, then by all means pick RHEL. Or SuSE Linux Enterprise Server, Novell Linux Desktop, etc... And there are plenty of other distros that prevent redistribution for reasons for select packages, trademarks, etc... Red Hat is not the only one, although I don't always see people recognizing this. It's just like the age-old IBM v. Microsoft problem. People seem to stand by one or the other, not realizing the other is no better. ;-> And there are more choices ou there than deciding to hate 1 of 2. Les, we get it. You don't like Red Hat. As someone who lacks tact myself, I'm fairly good at noticing others with the same problem. ;-> And even *I* said vote CentOS if you prefer it. This vote doesn't look like about awarding credit. Of course, if you like SLAs, even if you normally can't afford them, then I'd vote RHEL (or SLES/NLD). -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Canon MP780 driver
by Ian Bennett 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

Hi all, New member here and new to Linux. Please excuse me if my questions appear a bit dumb. I have just installed CentOS 4 and I am playing around. I must say the install process was fabulous and I had no problems. I am now playing with a few of the apps. I have a Canon Pixma MP780 multi-function centre which was correctly identified by the installer however I cannot find a driver for it and hence cannot print to it. Does anyone know if a Linux driver exists for this printer or alternatively what existing printer driver will work. Thanks in advance. Ian

top not showing %CPU
by Warren Harris 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

I'm running with CentOS4 on a 2 cpu machine. I'm running a java process which creates a large number of threads as well as other native processes running under heavy load mixing 200+ audio streams. However, top shows none of these having any %CPU time. All of them read 0.0, except for top itself which occasionally shows up with 0.7, and migration/N with 0.3. All other processes read 0.0. The load average of the machine varies between 1.5 and 4.0. Any suggestions on where to look for the problem would be appreciated, Warren

CentOS4 installer can't find a hard drive to install.
by Takashi Nakamura 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

Hi, My computer is DELL DIMENSION 8400. SATA setting is below: port0 is connected to a WDC WD2500JD-75H and making RAID1 with prot2. port1 is connected to a MAXTOR 6Y120MO and set to Non-RAID. port2 is connected to a WDC WD2500JD-75H and making RAID1 with prot0. WindowsXP is installed in the RAID1 set. I want to install CentOS4 into the MAXTER's hard drive, but I can't. CentOS4 installer says "No drive was found. Do you find a driver now?" I tried all drivers that the installer showed. Each driver doesn't work. Finally the installer says "No drive to install. Check your hardware." BIOS recognizes MAXTER and diagnostic is PASS. WindowsXP finds MAXTER as a new found device. Why CentOS4 installer can't fined any hard drives? Thanks in advance, Takashi Nakamura

ntwork problem
by William Warren 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

I switched my file server's hard disks from a p-2 350 to a p-3 deley 1.1 ghz. I ran kudzu and it detected the new nic and unconfigured the old one. I may have messed up the static ip assignment because hte system is not able to do anything on the network. How do i check the ipaddress asignment and also ensure the proper linksys LNE-100TX driver is loaded? thanks.
