I’ve run into quite a few odd issues with CentOS 5.1 x64 & the Xen kernel. One of them being the fact that it only sees about 480MB RAM, even though my server has 2GB RAM. So, searching the net, I came across this post: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=250299 which states that grub-0.97-13 has a problem with mapping [...]

I need to / want to write ISO’s to CD’s from my Linux server, but since I don’t have an X-Manager like Gnome or KDE running, I need to find a way to write the CD’s from the command line with SSH. Luckely the server is right next to me, and it’s got a CDRW [...]

If you’ve ever installed a server, you’ll know how long it can sometimes take, especially if you need to setup software RAID + LVM, and then go through all the packages and deselect what you don’t need. After that you would normally download a few favorite scripts from the net, or do a yum update [...]

I have a Gigabyte GA-G31MX-S2 and I run SME Server 7.3 on it. The motherboard has an onboard Realtek 8110C Gigabit Ethernet card, which isn’t supported in CentOS 4.6 (or even CentOS 5 for that matter), so I need to manually install a driver to get it to work. Since I have a 2U server [...]

Recently, a client of mine needed to setup an “Out of Office”, or also known as “Vacation” reply on his email for when he traveled. Since they don’t use Microsoft Exchange, MS Outlook’s Out of Office feature didn’t work. The only way to setup an Out of Office reply, is on the mail server itself. [...]
