Opinion: Red Hat with CentOS – Good Tactical Move?

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on January 8, 2014 by RGJanuary 9, 2014

A recent announcement that Red Hat and CentOS have ”Joined Forces” is interesting, and should lead to an improved development/release cycle for both..

NVIDIA – What is Going On?

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on October 30, 2013 by RGOctober 30, 2013

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on April 19, 2012 by RGApril 19, 2012

I had intended to persevere with the Fedora 14 ‘respin’, despite it being (correctly, IMHO..) described as ‘a bit buggy’..     Performance was improved with the newer 3.1.9+ kernel image, without the debug messages, but overall the response was still very sluggish..    I selected XFCE as the UI, as I had used this – successfully – with Fedora … Continue reading →
