Ah yes. I can see that. I said media player, but I only use it for music.
And I used it very heavily - 10-12 hours a day, often with non Linux users
controlling it. It's interface was very smart and intuitive for non linux
users.

Thanks for the readings - as someone that recently moved from 10+ years on
Ubuntu, I quite liked Unity. I'm finding Gnome a little brain dead in some
obvious-to-me-why-not-everyone-else areas.

For me, the saddest thing about this announcement is that I *still* think
Amarok is the best media player available, even if I've not used it for a
while. Installing the entire KDE base for one program is just too heavy. It
really is streets ahead of the other media players though.

Cheers

[CentOS] Has something replaced rhn-ssl-tool?

[Lachlan Musicman]

Using CentOS 7.5, I can't (and don't expect) to see rhn-ssl-tool.

But I was expecting to find something similar. I can't see anything in the
recent RH documentation about it - I presume it was remove/changed with the
move from Spacewalk to Satellite - but I presume the functionality is still
required?

Has something replaced it?

Cheers

Jay, it helps us help you when you give more information.

I have CentOS 7 running happily on 4GB. My presumption - based on
experience, extrapolation, and google - is that it will also run with 64TB.

Anything between those numbers should be good.
