Kernel issues with Debian Xen and CentOS Kernels

Debian-News.net  Wed, 10/22/2008 - 12:00

Last time I tried using a Debian 64bit Xen kernel for Dom0 I was unable to get it to work correctly, it continually gave kernel panics when doing any serious disk IO.

I’ve just tried to reproduce that problem on a test machine with a single SATA disk and it seems to be working correctly so I guess that it might be related to using software RAID and LVM


 

Community vs. Commercial GNU/Linux Distributions

Debian-News.net  Tue, 10/21/2008 - 15:57

You can categorize most GNU/Linux distributions as either community or commercial. Community-based distributions like Debian, Fedora, or CentOS are maintained largely by volunteers and donations of services or money, while commercial distributions like Suse, Red Hat, or Xandros are backed by a company and compete directly against proprietary operating systems such as Windows and OS X.
