Re: UPS
Hi, Price here is a tricky thing, cheap means faulty... We had several types of UPSs, Advice, Dynamode, others, and the only ones that didn't burn, or fail after 1-2years were the APC. Also 800VA isn't much, it mainly depends on how much up time you want on power failures. In any case paying twice for quality if you can spare them is a good investment as it will (the APC) hold longer and will not burn up - as our Advice UPS did (no fire, just strong smell of burned plastic).

I think you're wrong about the price - I found the APC you mentioned for over 700 shekels - more than double the price of the Dynamode 850va priced at 299. Your're right that I don't NEED 850va, but the price seems good.

Re: Yum - installing 32 bit binaries on 64 bit CentOS
Specifically for Firefox 32bit plugins, another option is to install nspluginwrapper (http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/nspluginwrapper/ ) that allows running 32 bit plugins under Firefox 64 bit. Its probably not available for CentOS4 (I haven't even bothered to check), but there is a source RPM from the site above that you can use. For other 32 bit software, CentOS does not package all 32 bit packages for x86_64 - only the really important stuff (do they offer mplayerplug-in in their 32bit repositories ? I'm not sure), but you can always add another repository that points directly to the 32 bit release: Go to /etc/yum.repos.d locate the CentOS repository file (probably called centos.repo or something) copy it to another file, let's call it centos-i386.repo open the new file for editing and replace every instance of $arch with i386. save and enjoy.

Re: Yum cache for a cluster of clients
Going a bit off the deep end, here's another suggestion: There are other software update managers besides yum in the world, and at this point I want to talk about URPMI - the Mandrive update manager. URPMI can be installed on other operating systems then Mandrive and I've had success using it on CentOS 4 and some Fedora Core (can't remember). URPMI had a few interesting features that do not exist (or are hard to duplicate) in the competitors, one which is relevant to this discussion is the remote update capability: With URPMI installed on all the target machines, you need to only configure installation sources on one machine and push updates remotely from this machine to all the others. One way that I've used it is to have a local machine in the office that is easy to access and has the correct repositories configured, and whenever you need to push updates (lets say - with a cron job) you use it to sync the other machines. If you ever want to change your software repositories configuration - you only change it in one location. The main downside for this is that you can only use repositories that support the URPMI metadata format. It is easy to set up a repository that supports both YUM and URPMI, but in Tom's case if he's going to set up a local CentOS repository then that is going to be a solution of its own without the URPMI setup.

Yum - installing 32 bit binaries on 64 bit CentOS
You guys have been so helpful, here is another yummy question. :-) I am running CentOS 4 64 bit, but sometimes i need to install 32 bit binaries. For example firefox, so that plugins work. Sometimes when I append ".386" in my yum install commands it works and finds the 32 bit version. However, often it does not. For example: yum install mplayerplug-in.i386 replies No Match for argument: mplayerplug-in.i386 However we all know that mplayerplug-in.i386 does exist, but only in 32 bit repositories. Yum replaces $arch with x86_64 even when I explicitly ask for i386. Any suggestions on how to get around this? Thanks, -- -tom 054-244-8025
