I do not believe you understand the philosophy behind CentOS (an Enterprise OS) or RHEL (the upstream distro). This is a distro with a *LONG* life, and without the latest and greatest, for security and stability reasons. It has always been recommended to do a Clean Install when moving from one major version (ie: 5.x) to a newer version (ie: 6.x) and then to Restore your data, from your backup. If you do it in some other fashion, there are apt to be problems, which will probably not be supported on this list. If you break it, you will fix it.

Also, if you search the archives of the mailing list, you will find a ton of information, from a large group of highly knowledgeable users. People who work with CentOS in the Enterprise, all day, every day. Installing non RPM software on an RPM Distro like CentOS is frowned upon. That is the worst way to do it. There are 3rd party Yum repositories, with lots of things that have been packaged for CentOS and you can install them with Yum, once you have the Repository data ready for yum.

[CentOS] DNS update system-config-network GUI
Box is fully updated CentOS 5.5 (32 bit). DHCP is from the ADSL modem 192.168.1.1. After I update the DNS settings and restart the network, the DNS changes do not hold. I have tried using this GUI, as a regular user, after giving the root password, and, also, logged in as the root user. When I begin, the Primary DNS is shown as 192.168.1.1 the IP of the ADSL modem. I move that IP to the Tertiary DNS and insert the Primary and Secondary DNS IP's I want to use. Then, I save the file, quit, and restart the network (service network restart). I see messages that the file has been saved and suggesting that I restart the network or the box. The DNS I want to use is that of OpenDNS.com and I saw it work, briefly.Then,it stops working and when I launch the system-config-network GUI again, I see it has reverted to the original configuration, with only the Primary DNS of 192.168.1.1 (the ADSL modem) shown. Questions: The DNS Search Path is blank. Is there something I should insert there? If it appears that I am using the system-config-network GUI properly, what configuration file can I modify, to make these DNS changes hold permanently? TIA!

[CentOS] OT: free DNS service?
I have been using a free DNS service for the past seven (7) years. This morning, at 4 A.M., , I changed the A record for one of my web sites, to point to an IP address on a different server, so I could test. After watching the TTL count down from 3600 to zero, with the dig command, it then reset to 3600, but still resolved to the original IP address. :-) I set the A record back to the original IP address and filed a Support Ticket with that company, but if they cannot get this to work properly again, I need a new DNS service that is free.

Robert: CentOS is the binary equivalent of RHEL, made legally from freely distributed RHEL source. The primary changes are to remove anything proprietary to Red Hat, logos, etc. And, if there is anything they include that is proprietary, that is removed. I believe the updating process for CentOS was changed, when CentOS 5.0 came out, to improve things, but in general, should be binary equivalent, which is the goal. You said your class was going to begin in 3 hours, so hopefully later you will come back to this thread and someone more knowledgeable can give you a more detailed answer than I can. RHEL costs $ and CentOS is freely distributed. Probably CentOS is the most widely used distro on servers. RHEL comes with some support, depending upon what is purchased, and requires a license for each box. These are Enterprise distros and do not have the latest and greatest. They do have a very long supported life and more security and stability that distros with the latest and greatest.

Probably I exported my Evolution Address book in one of those formats and then converted into another format Thunderbird could import.My suggestion: If you are using other things in Evolution, in addition to email, stay with it.

Do any of the cell phone operators in your area use the GSM technology? If so, they may offer HSDPA Internet service too.

Netgear makes an HSDPA to Ethernet modem, but I don't think they sell them in the USA or down here. If you can get HSDPA, that would probably be a huge speed increase for your home network. The HSDPA speed at our house, at this time, is slower than our ADSL, but if I had one of those Netgear modems, we'd make the switch. The 3 cell phone operators in Colombia are all using GSM now and all 3 offer HSDPA Internet access, but their normal method is a USB device that only runs on Windows or a Mac, which is only good for one box and not for a Linux box.
