Hey skunks Who is using CentOS 6.* , been finding it a bit odd from previous versions mostly in the installations and not yet mastered a perfect installation. Two points to note are it defaults to runlevel 3 if you chose a server installatation (was stuck as to why I'm not getting a GUI) Secondly I installed a 32 bit on 4GB ram, now it only recognizes 3.36GB. kernel-pae is no longer a module on this version so how do I enable it to recognize 4GB ./TheMburu -- Conservatism is the adherence to the old tried against the new untried.
I have a 64 bit in production and its running very smooth. if i really really need the GUI, i installed desktop via yum and i would just type startx One particular thing am happy about version 6 is the SeLinux which looks much better than version 5. anyway am just a beginner in this sysadmin field.

From a security perspective, this is a good option as you have minimum services running and you therefore enable others on demand rather than vice-versa. On 07/09/2012 10:20 PM, James Mutuku wrote:

Webmin is actually nice when you want to lock people out from the system since they think they are admins and have no idea what to do on commandline, so you setup for them only custom scripts and modules you feel are safe for these 'admins' - Have used it before very effectively! ./Ok3ch On Tue, Jul 10, 2012 at 4:09 PM, Alex Kamiru <nderitualex@gmail.com> wrote:

+1 for incompetent. The GUI on the server is never for managing the server, really, but it's a Desktop Environment. That is why it's not installed when you select the "server" option during install. However, for starters, you can select "Desktop" mode, configure the WM to listen on 127.0.0.1 and still end up with a Server. A server is simply applications installed (and sometimes glued together) to serve a purpose. It's never defined as hardware.
