CentOS 5.2

How to … spend your weekend

August 1, 2008 by Kris Buytaert Leave a Comment

Virtualization is obviously becoming a better and better documented topic.

Over at UbuntuGeek.com is a fresh HOWTO on installing VirtualBox 1.6 in ad Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron setup, including USB Support.

Over at the other side of the Linux Distribution Spectrum, Falko Timme at How to Forge documents how to install and use OpenVZ on Centos 5.2.

So if you don’t feel like playing outside this weekend, you know what to do 🙂

June 26, 2008 by Robin Wauters 3 Comments

The CentOS development team has released CentOS 5.2, which is based on and promises full compatibility for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.2. Available for i386 and x86-64 architectures, the release offers new drivers and bug fixes, as well as improvements to the Xen virtualization kernel, according to the team.

The fresh clone comes with updated software support for Apache, Gnome, KDE, OpenOffice, MySQL and PostgreSQL. Also, you won’t be paying the $350-$2,500 per year subscription fee for RHEL 5.2!

Documentation can be found here, release notes here, download mirrors here.
