After building my last few machines on Debian 8 (and a couple on CentOS 7), Centos 6 seems like a breath of fresh air.
Gnome 2 is so much better to work with than Gnome 3.SysV init is so much more elegant than Systemd. You tell it what order you want things to come up in... and it works. Systemd is a serious clusterfsck.
It's a pity there isn't a Linux distro that will never move off SysV init, never go past Gnome 2, and never use a kernel newer than 2.6.x (so I can keep using my Measurement Computing cards).
Of course, I'm lucky that this particular motherboard will work with Centos 6; more than once recently I have encountered hardware that wouldn't be recognized unless I went to something newer.
Pretty much anything Intel won't work reliably with Debian 8, by the way; machines hang on login, or the desktop never appears int he first place. It turns out the Intel drivers in Debian 8 are buggy, and you have to go to Debian 9, which I have yet to try with Rivendell.

Centos 6.5 with the latest "yum upgrade" 2.6.32-642.13.1.el6.x86_64 Rivendell 2.10.0 & hpklinux 3.08.05Is my combo, when I went above 2.10.0 I also found problems with compiling the HPK library. I realize the HPK version I am using is not the latest and greatest. I also noticed after 2.5.1 Rivendell my Now & Next doesn't work with the UDP connection to my RDS encoder.I'm sure I've overlooked something while searching the discussion groups for solutions, these versions are where I've found stopping points until I could further research my compiling issues, a "to-do" project coming later this summer when time allows ...--KitBy the way, the latest ASI HPI driver (4.18.3, I think) doesn't compileonCentos 6; it needs at least a 3.2 kernel.I'm running 4.10.15, which I copied from a machine I built two or three years ago and recompiled; but does anyone know which is the latest driver that will run on a 2.6 kernel?Thanks, Rob -- Я там, где ребята толковые, Я там, где плакаты "Вперёд", Где песни рабочие новые Страна трудовая поёт.

This ison Debian 8 (Jessie) running the Tryphon-packaged Rivendell version 2.10.3.I also see similar messages from rdairplay on version 2.10.3 as well, but not nearly as often. Most frequently near midnight when the next day's log is loaded (with an explicit LL macro call, not a "chain to"). I had chalked it up to a bug in version 2.10.3, so it's interesting to know that you're experiencing it on a more recent version and on a different Linux distribution. ~David On 02/26/2017 10:04 PM, Rob Landry wrote:I've just installed RD 2.15.2 (compiled from source) on a new PC running CentOS 6 (64-bit).
