 Cool - just wasn't sure if it needed something more :)



I have made some minor addition and changes to the sudo section.  Hope
it is still looking good.

Hi,

it is still looking good to me. Just two little things :
- Do we consider people who reach this page know at least how to edit a 
file with vi? I ask this because I mentionned how to save the sudoers 
file but not how to edit it; since it is a sudo howto and not a vi 
howto, maybe this part could be changed (something like : if you don't 
know how to use vi, follow this link, with a link to a vi howto).
- About the NOPASSWD version of the quick and dirty setup : I'm not 
against it if there is a big fat warning sign attached.

 I am against it. Those who do not need the warning sign already know 
the message we try to send via this page and those who do need the 
warning sign would better avoid NOPASSWD.

Well, there is already a warning, just that it's not in HUGE red bold font:

sudo will ask for a password. This password is bob's password, and not 
root's password, so be careful when you give rights to a user with sudo.


Maybe we could make the wording a little stronger, bold or something 
just in case anyone skips over it without the significance sinking in!

It doesn't need to be vi because sudo uses $EDITOR (which defaults to
vim in CentOS5) shell variable to run Your Beloved Editor (tm) :^)

I've just mentioned it in the article.

[CentOS-docs] Guide to Using KVM

2008-04-20 Thread Akemi Yagi
Hi all,

Our CentOS Forum contributor, scottro, has written a guide to using
KVM with CentOS-5.1 and made it available at:

http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/centoskvm.html

He is offering it for us to put on the CentOS wiki.  I would be happy
to wikify it and welcome any comments and suggestions.  The contents
will be updated as he adds more to his writing.

Thanks Akemi. I register an expression of interest and think it would be 
great to have something on the Wiki.


Maybe we should just double check scottro understands and agrees with 
the licensing terms of the Wiki?


Unfortunately, no time to read tonight, but I'm sure I'll have time to 
have a look during the week.

Yes, we must.  I'm sure he would agree but this is required.  Thanks
for reminding me of this.

About where to get kvm from... we probably want to mention the extras
repo as the primary source and the testing repo for those who wish to
try the latest.
