Hi.
We have a need for a video conferencing package with the following specs:
- cross platform client support (Linux, Mac, Win)
- server side runs on Centos 5 and later with easy package installation routine
(e.g. RPM)
- can host a teleconfernce with no users connected (IOW, it can wait for us
And more over, there is nothing earth-shatteringly new in the 3.0 kernel.
Linus said during the last kernel summit he wanted to change the versioning
scheme to make it easier for various developers in different realms to track
version changes. Don't expect anything super-cool for us on the

Just another happy camper here. We have ext4 for some high-volume servers

No. I worked with both SCO and ISC linux in the late 80's and early 90's and
run level 5 was used for X. In fact I think
it was used also in DGUX for X.
I don't know about ISC UNIX (aka Interactive UNIX) but SCO did not use run
level 5 for X. I cut my teeth on System V UNIX including SC

Hi.
There does not seem to be a php53-eaccelerator in standard Centos yum channels,
from what I can see. That is a mainstay for us. Has anyone found that any
particular php53-eacclerator from other locations play well with it?
Thanks.

Yes, we use nginx + PHP and also apache + nginx + PHP extensively and it works
well.
You can also look at lighttpd + PHP as another alternative that works well.
It has to collect logs from syslog (or similar service ), because one
requirement for certification is "log history from all devices in one place".
And since we are talking about 1500 devices it should be easy to configure and
maintain.
