kaiyang | ok i see... so i shd just remove all the plugins just to play safe? |
timmay | (mini-wm 466):GTK-WARNING *** Cannot open display: :1 cant get to shell |
deepsa | what command you trying to run? |
timmay | isnt there a way to do this in non graphical mode (install centos) |
bobnn | timmay - ctrl-alt f2 doesn't get you a shell? |
timmay | nope | im stuck in the install startup right after x server starts How do i run setup in non-graphical mode? |
deepsa | boot: linux text |
timmay | thank you |
macmanluke | what filesystem would you all recommend on a centos 5 server? |
deepsa | ext3 |
ne581 | ext4 |
timmay | ext5 |
deepsa | it requires 2.6.19 minimum ne581 centos 5 comes with 2.6.18 ext5 ain't there Timmay |
macmanluke | i was thinking of running JFS or XFS but they dont appear to be supported in centos? |
deepsa | yeah |
timmay | lol j/k |
Evolution | macmanluke: use ext3 and tune it properly. you'll gain far more from tuning the filesystem properly xfs support is a centosplus feature, and should only be used for data partitions, not OS partitions *IF* you choose to use it. |
sigwerk | its just like tuning a 4 barrell carbeurator, except different =D |
Evolution | details for tuning are on the wiki. it's pretty straight forward. |
timmay | will 64bit work faster on an old system or slower? |
Evolution | Timmay: that makes almost no sense. |
LuvRedheads | heh |
deepsa | lol |
LuvRedheads | maybe on like a commodore 64 ? :) |
Evolution | 64bit has nothing to do with if it's an old system or not. |
timmay | thats what i thaught |
Evolution | if the processor supports 64bit instructions, then you have a 64bit system. after that it's all about clock cycles. |
timmay | just uses the cpu differently |
Evolution | Timmay: no. it depends on the CPU. you can't slap a 64bit OS on a 32bit processor. |
action | Evolution wanders off to bed |
