[CentOS] Alternative to laptop
I am considering buying a small, and therefore easily portable, computer as an alternative to the laptop I already have. Obviously it would not have battery, a screen, nor a keyboard etc. but more or less be an easily portable computing unit to move between offices where a keyboard and monitor(s) could then be connected. I want to run CentOS 7, later CentOS 8. The smaller, the better, however, there are certain key features I would like to have: - HDMI for 2 monitors - USB for keyboard - 2 extra USB for eg external harddisk etc. - both wifi and at least Gb Ethernet cable connector Probably at least 16 Gb of memory, capability to drive two high-resolution monitors and whatever else might be nice such as SSD of at least 256 Gb. Size wise it would be nice if it were no larger than a "book", whatever size that might be. Does anyone use something like the above, or know of a computer meeting the above criteria? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] CentOS, Red Hat, and IBM
CentOS community, Today marks a new day in the 26-year history of Red Hat. IBM has finalized its acquisition of Red Hat (https://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/ibm-closes-landmark-acquisition-red-hat-34-billion-defines-open-hybrid-cloud-future) which will operate as a distinct unit within IBM moving forward. What does this mean for Red Hat’s contributions to the CentOS project? In short, nothing. Red Hat always has and will continue to be a champion for open source and projects like CentOS. IBM is committed to Red Hat’s independence and role in open source software communities so that we can continue this work without interruption or changes. Our mission, governance, and objectives remain the same. We will continue to execute the existing project roadmap. Red Hat associates will continue to contribute to the upstream in the same ways they have been. And, as always, we will continue to help upstream projects be successful and contribute to welcoming new members and maintaining the project. We will do this together, with the community, as we always have. If you have questions or would like to learn more about today’s news, I encourage you to review the list of materials below. Red Hat CTO Chris Wright will host an online Q&A session in the coming days where you can ask questions you may have about what the acquisition means for Red Hat and our involvement in open source communities. Details will be announced on the Red Hat blog - https://www.redhat.com/en/blog Press release - https://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/ibm-closes-landmark-acquisition-red-hat-34-billion-defines-open-hybrid-cloud-future Chris Wright blog - Red Hat and IBM: Accelerating the adoption of open source - https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/red-hat-and-ibm-accelerating-adoption-open-source FAQ on Red Hat Community Blog - https://community.redhat.com/blog/2019/07/faq-for-communities/ -- Rich Bowen - rbo...@redhat.com - CentOS Community Manager @CentOSProject // @rbowen ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I wanted to force our rebuilded package (that include some "desktop" fixes) to
be installed. The added Epoch
got in the way of dnf and also "dnf --nobest" didn't help to resolve it. Just
to make it efficient I took the
shortcut and useded a %{dist}.1 instead of the Epoch stanza. But good to known
that its still valid and with
more time I will check the root cause of my former approach ... thanks.

Re: [CentOS] adding uefi to kickstart CentOS 7
Once upon a time, Jerry Geis said: > I am trying to add an efi partition to my working kickstart file. Rather than try to set the EFI partition, I just put "reqpart" in and let the installer decide when it needs it (and how to do it). I still have "--location=mbr" in the bootloader line and it seems to just do the right thing. One other thing - you don't have a /boot - not sure if the installer still requires that or not. Here's an example from a KS I just used on an EFI system (I use LVM so it's somewhat different): zerombr clearpart --initlabel --drives=sda bootloader --location=mbr --boot-drive=sda reqpart part /boot --ondisk=sda --asprimary --size=1024 --fstype=xfs part pv.1 --ondisk=sda --size=3600 --grow volgroup centos pv.1 logvol / --vgname=centos --name=root --fstype=xfs --size=1536 --grow logvol swap --vgname=centos --name=swap --size=2048 -- Chris Adams ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
