For that you'll need a compatible distro such as RHEL, or at the very least one that can be convinced that its kernel is RHEL compatible, such as centos. -- Del Thanks Del --

[SLUG] ubuntu samab

I've installed a new ubuntu samba server. The server replaces a samba server that has worked well for years. I used the config file (slightly moded) from the old server to the new. Windows 98 machines logon fine. Windows XP Pro clients had problems with the machine accounts. So I deleted a

[SLUG] slow nfs

I have two servers. An old one with kernel 2.4 and a new one with kernel 2.6. When I nfs mount from the old to the new I get very slow responces and warnings. To do the nfs reliably should I run 2.6 kernels on both? Regards, Ashley -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List -

[SLUG] dvd burner

G'day, I've just taken out a dead cd burner, and replaced it with a dvd burner. I have some iso's I want to burn. I've made the mistake of believeing that the normal cd burning tools would interact with the dvd burner for the purpose of burning cd's. Googling didn't get me far. Anybody know

[SLUG] Re: swap problem

To those who responded on-off list thanks. I completely underestimated how memory hungry Evolution is, also Firefox, between them I'm using over 350 Meg! Then fire up vmware and it is cpu hungry. At 4 years old I think a new box maybe sooner rather than later. Now im watching closely I go to

[SLUG] swap issue

G'day, My computer is running Ubuntu 5.04. 512 Meg RAM When I run Vmware, Evolution and a couple of smaller apps free indicates all ram used and 6 meg swap with 130 meg of buffers free. So switching between Evolution, vi and vmware (so Gnome is running) should result in no requirement for
