Ramon: You may want to think again, about using Yahoo Mail, to send email to this mailing list. Interesting what they add to your emails.... For those who cannot read Spanish, it says, more or less, "Everything about Love and Sex! The complete guide for the life of todays woman". Many of the people on the list use Gmail and Google does not add stuff like that to our emails. I am going to send you an invitation to get a Gmail account. Saludos desde Colombia, Lanny

My point, as I'm sure you guessed or deduced, was that requests for help on this list should be at least a little more descriptive than a single FLA.
And yes, I didn't know the answer, although I did understand the question. It's like the bottom posters, the "let's include the whole 25 message thread" posters, and the "guess what _I_ want" posters, and also for those on the list who really don't know enough to understand minimalistic requests like this.
(P.S.: 10Gb LAN, for those who don't know....)

yes, some 10gb cards are, yes there are people using them. I dont see what the issue is, are you conducting a random survey of some sorts ?

I'll like to know from others their experience using 10 Gb LAN with CentOS 4 & 5.
There is a chance here at work to change our backbone network to 10 Gb LAN if this get approved (by the CIO) i'll like to include to this project some 10 Gb Network Cards for our CentOS servers in order to connect them directly to the new backbone.
Thank you in advance
Hi, for the sake of the the CentOS email servers, would you please turn off attaching the additional copy of your email in HTML format?
You are sending your email out in both plain text and HTML format, which more than doubles the size of your email, thereby doubling the amount of bandwidth the CentOS email server has to use to send it to the many many people on the list. This increases the cost of sending out your email by almost 100% but doesn't provide any more actual content.
to see how to turn off HTML in many email clients look at this web page: http://expita.com/nomime.html#programs
This is desired by the CentOS mailing list rules. per:
1. Please turn off HTML in your e-mail client for these mailing lists. We have several subscribers who read the list with text only readers and they can't easily read HTML formatted e-mails. There is a place (somewhere) for the flowery stationary and themes that some mail clients offer ... but this is not it. Again, please only post text e-mails to these mailing lists.
Quoted from: http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=16 (near the bottom)
Thanks, Jeff Kinz

and while we are at that: please use a decent mail program that can attach the correct MIME content-encoding header for your special characters. These are coming out as garbage because your message is us-ascii.

Your email client doesn't understand "plain/text" ?
Sorry, if that was not clear, I was referring (like you) to Ramon's messages which were sent/typed with utf-8 character-encoding, but not declared as such.

I really do wonder what you want to accomplish by that. It's hard enough to saturate a GBit link with for example httpd, and same goes for most other usage scenarios I can imagine.
You're really going to hit limits regarding storage (if that is local).

Ah, thank you - I couldn't even read what you wrote without beginning this reply, so I figured I'd follow through and remind you to send your email in text only (which you can do from Yahoo email, too, BTW).
Muchas gracias, señor!

AAMOF, I'm using gmail - the problem was tiny print that my aging eyes have trouble reading, not an encoding issue. Plain text is simply easier to read....
Or are you suggesting that gmail is not a proper email client?

Bottom post list, reply below. 2008/10/1 Ramon Nieto rnietoz@yahoo.com.mx:
Some but not all 10 Gb network cards are supported. Some driver support is better than other...
You can download the latest CentOS and look at the driver list for out of the box support. Since CentOS is built from redhat packaged source you can also inspect the release note on both the CentOS and Red Hat web pages.
One caution is that a current kernel may support your card but the kernel in the install media may not if it is a very new part. This is easy to solve if you understand it but a road block if you do not.
Do some bandwidth arithmetic and make sure that the slot you plug your card into can support the bandwidth you expect. Same for system memory.... I do know that the bandwidth of my little KIM-1 6502 processor based system cannot support 10Gb.
Do some homework.... there are some good/ better/ best 10Gb parts out there now.
One example: http://service.chelsio.com/site-bin/readme.cgi?FILE=linux/t3/README-cxgb3toe Since RHEL is supported CentOS is 'supportable'.
Other vendors have cards and support too but a Chelsio driver engineer bought me a beer last month.... or did I buy him one..... so much beer, so much good tequila and so little time..... well never mind.
