When I introduced myself, he looked somewhat disappointed: Oh, so you know CentOS... Still, we found a lot to talk about. Yes, CentOS is often considered a server operating system, explained Dag, but we are trying to change that. In fact, the latest release has many up-to-date desktop packages and we also have an extra repository with many application and drivers that are not officially part of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). He asserted: CentOS can be a perfect system for those who need long-term stability and who don't want to take frequent and potentially risky upgrade paths. A serious doubt has been raised about the credibility of that story. Did the reporter indeed meet Dag at the CentOS booth? Or was it at a nearby pub? Hahah.

[CentOS] LinuxTag day One
The guys [3] at LinuxTag want to share some of the stuff they have been doing today. After setting up the booth [1] we started the usual socializing by doing this, we met Brian Schueler again who created a PowerPC 32 version of CentOS and even a ARMv5. This is quite impressive and we all gathered around to see a little demonstration. Further we talked to the usual suspects from Fedora and Red Hat which was represented quite strongly this year. Nothing special about the booth [2] this time we have an iMac on display on which we are showing some information about CentOS. Then we went on dismantling a thinkpad to see how it looked on the inside and some members of the team visited some talks. We are now off to the pub for some food and German Beer.

Simple but effective:
find . -type f -exec md5sum {} \; | sort /tmp/previous
Do the same after with a different file name and use diff

[CentOS] Monthly Newsletter
Hey A friend asked me how he could stay up to date with CentOS and if there was a newsletter or something. After some research I found that there was a discussion on the promo list about half a year ago but nothing happened. If you look at : http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Promo/TODO you can see, that is has to be done :) Would something like this, be appreciated by the community? What would people want to see in a newsletter? Are people interested in doing this? Personally I was thinking of : - General information (Like whats up with 5.3) - What is happening on the mailing lists / Forum - Developer interview (Developers would you do that?) - Tips/Tricks - Event reports and up coming events - Word of the Month. Something to lighten up the newsletter. - Bug fixes - Ideas welcome I would be quite happy to contribute to this and it would give people who want to give something back a nice chance to get public exposure.
