I have several in my theatre and they have to be inspected and tagged every year by a certified fire extinguisher guy. But they only need replacement or recharge if they don't meet the requirements (I think the inspector weighs them, among other things) or after something like 10 or 12 years after their last recharge. I usually seem to end up buying or recharging a new one every year or two anyway, because one of them somehow manages to fail the inspection. Depending on the particular extinguisher, it's sometimes cheaper to replace it than to recharge it. Which reminds me -- I have to phone Eugene to make an appointment for him to do that. My inspection tags say the next one is due in March. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com DRY CLEANER BUSINESS FOR SALE ~ http://www.canadadrycleanerforsale.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

That reinforces my decision not to spend time and $ replacing batteries or repairing our high end (AVR without using the battery) Tripp Lite's. 3 of them are in the garage, to be given away or sent to the dump and have been replaced with low cost non brand name UPS. The other one is still running and when it dies, it will go into the garage. Also, I am reminded that I need to take our 2 fire extinguishers to the fire station and pay them to discharge/recharge them.:-) > > We have since replaced all Consumer grade Back-ups over 2 years old, >and set > a > policy to only do one battery replacement and then get rid of them when the > second battery dies. Sounds like an excellent policy. Even a brand new unit might catch fire, as that one did, but more hours of use increase the possibility. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The bulk of my production servers have 4 or more NICs with 2 or 3 active connections and as of 5.x, until the install gets to the point where HWADDR= is set for each NIC in its /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth? file the names are not predictable. In fact, I've even tried pre-configuring them on swappable drives built on similar machines and often the files with the correct HWADDR are renamed with a .bak extension at first boot in the real server and replaced with non-working defaults. Does anyone know how to avoid that?

I find that I don't have any problems with this. I usually disable dhcp on eth1 and have no cable in it during installation. eth0 is always the port that is labelled eth0.

I really recommend it, you just plug in the computer and let it install. There are various variants, you can either define what will be installed by naming the pxe controll file according to the mac address, or you can make a default boot menue.

There's a reason I don't like running anything beyond my ALIX-router 24x7 at home (while I'm away). And it's not the power-bill. IMO, UPSs don't really belong in the living-room. Doesn't really matter if they are old or new. Imagine returning home from work, only to find only the smoldering remainders of what was your house in the morning...

Does anybody know of good Squid rpm's? For example I use this for Postgres and it works well, wonder if there are similar repositories for Squid: $ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-82-centos.repo [pgdg82] name=PostgreSQL 8.2 $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/8.2/redhat/rhel-$releasever-$basearch enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-PGDG [pgdg82-source] name=PostgreSQL 8.2 $releasever - $basearch - Source failovermethod=priority baseurl=http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/srpms/8.2/redhat/rhel-$releasever-$basearch enabled=0 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-PGDG Regards Alex ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
