The system is unable to work with Centos 6.5 for connecting to the network. Currently downloading FC20 to see if that makes a diffference with the updated Kernel, or updated drivers. Right now, when I do a centos install, the page that has the network config is greyed out, so the install isn't

yum question

Re: announcement --- planned Yum replacement now ready for user testing

Hi. I'm not a power user of yum. I''ve never used dnf, didn't even know it existed until a few days ago via this thread. And I don't mean this to be a dig at the dev team of the app/function. However, given some of the points made in this thread, I'm wondering if the devs of this app have

Re: Root Frustrations
