Hello!

If you still are in need of an ISO of a CentOS, please feel free to PM me your address and I will gladly send you a DVD of 5.4 (I think that's the latest) For free. My humble way of returning to the community. I think I live nearer to you and it would not cost much (allow me to check also) and might arrive there in a week or two by airmail.

Just found out why my new mail server will not send outside emails!!! I have spent 3 days (or parts of) checking, changing and testing with no luck. Even called our isp and they were not able to solve the problem until now they admit emails to yahoo are not getting through via their system. Of course I never thought to check if they had a problem with outside emails !!! & I was only testing to my yahoo address (which was receiving other emails).
So it is not enough to just know what to do you have to have a crystal ball handy as well.
I have studied postfix a bit so I guess all is not lost!!

You just need to get a new magic wand. After all, the fact that the web works at all is just FM (Farking Magic)!

It will do both, though the desktop is not the most current. KDE is 3.5.4 instead of 4.x. I use it for my workstation/server and have been very, very satisfied with it. It is stable and quick. FWIW, I am running the 64-bit version. I use it not only for software development, but as an NFS and Samba server.
