[CentOS] Desktop Choice Centos 4/Centos 5 or Fedora 9
I have a choice of CentOS 4/5 and Fedora 9 on a laptop. I have not use CentOS 5 on a desktop but have used CentOS 4 and Fedora 9. I found the Fedora Gnome not as appealing as the CentOS 4 clearlooks. Any opinions from someone who has used CentOS 4/5 and Fedora? I'm not a KDE fan so KDE users need not reply.

That bug is unreproducible because you have manually altered the yum configuration so in reality its a self-induced problem not a "bug".

Get out of your high horse. You are running a server with automatic updates and then talk of "professional honor" and "educational answer"?

Nightly updates are not enabled by default. Why did you turn it on when your box has issues? 2. Aren't prudent admins supposed to test updates before applying them to production boxes? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Xboard rpm for CentOS 4
Has anyone built an rpm for xboard for CentOS 4? I looked in the EPEL repo, KBS repo and rpmforge but none exist. The KBS repo has gnuchess in testing but what good is gnuchess without xboard? As usual the fedora SRPM for Fedora 6 and Fedora 9 cannot build on CentOS 4- they might build on CentOS 6 but i have no time machine :). ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
