Re: [Fwd: Red Hat Linux 9 | Get the latest Linux early]
Red Hat generally only bumps up the main version number due to binary icompatibilities. That being said, they could do this on a whim if they like. It is merely a ploy to get people to go use their "Advanced" line of products if they want product stability. A great way to aggrevate their RHCE's too! They will probably a) come out with an RHASCE (Red Hat Advanced Server Certified Engineer) or b) they will have to fix their RHCE program. I certified on 7.2, and was told it would be good for the next 2 major versions, being 8 and 9. I should be good 'till RH10.

I'm going to have to disagree.. It all depends where you live, how well you interview, who you know, how much you are asking for, how much experience you have, etc. It took me 6 months to find a new job (I was employed for that time). I went on about 5 interviews. The job I have now _required_ an RHCE, and thus I landed it. James S.

Re: Changing startup screen & colors for XDMCP
I know this doesn't answer your question, but if this is a production server, I would recommend _not_ installing Gnome and having the box in runlevel 5.. In addtional to security problems, it's also a resource hog. Cygwin has a XFree86 server you can run on your box, and then you can run any GUI applications on the server through your SSH connection and they will be displayed locally. James S.

Re: Swap Limits
Todd, Yes I have an *idea* of how much latency it would create. Unfortunately I don't think Red Hat does.Folks want to follow what company X says, and not what I personally believe. So right now when I have to tell people that "Yes I know what Red Hat is saying, but they're wrong" it takes a little strategy. Anyhow, I appreciate the insight. James S.

File system limits go beyond that, now. Whether or not this still applies to swap partitions is kind of murky, but it shouldn't apply to swap *files*. I'm not sure that this is a valid questions, though. Do you have any *idea* how much latency you'd create with 4GB+ of swap? Even on a seperate SCSI spindle, you'd spend huge amounts of time waiting for paging operations if you were actively swapping that much RAM. I usually allocate about 1GB at the beginning of the disk. Even that slows things down a little, but provides plenty of elbow room without seriously degrading performance. A better question is why you think you'd need more than 3GB of RAM. You could probably get away with a gig or less unless your apps are totally out of control and building huge heap structures for silly reasons. You should always use *some* swap, but the old multipliers aren't really valid anymore. You need to balance memory requirements with paging requirements, e.g. make sure you have enough RAM+SWAP to run your apps, but remember that paging to disk will slow you down...maybe even kill your server if you spend too much time disk-thrashing your swap. -- "Of course I'm in shape!

Some server boards are capable of 66Mhz operation, but even those in all cases I have seen the onboard IDE controller is on the 33Mhz side. 33Mhz is not the same as the ATA speed(e.g. 33/66/100/133). nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: Q: Strange Kernal Comment at boot... Please Help!
I always thought this means the speed of the IDE device as in 33, 66, 100, 133, etc. It's not referring to the speed of the motherboard's Front Side Bus. In other words, you can ignore it since you have all SCSI drives. James S. Martin, RHCE Administrative Office of the United Sates Courts Washington, DC "J.

Swap Limits
It is my understanding that swap partitions are limited in size to 2GB, yet Red Hat's documentation points that your swap partition should be 2x the size of your physical memory. Therefore, if you have a 2GB + of RAM, what is the best approach for sizing your swap partition? Using multiple swap partitions or just keeping a maximum of 2GB swap? Thanks, James S.
