CentOS 7 Up & Running

Share this page

BTW, I do have Samba, but it doesn't seem to be running all the time. Hitting the escape key only gives me a brief flash, then the login screen pops up. Looking at running resources doesn't show anything until I manually launch Samba. Always have access to NTFS drives though. Maybe the Samba install writes code to the kernel for full time compatibility?
 
I didn't understand a word you said... Except for "desktop". Me TOO!!:highly_amused:
 
Funny, I can copy my photos to a thumb drive and CentOS picks them right up, but it still won't recognize an external HD, even formatted to a FAT drive. Oh well, sooner or later.
 
To throw another curve ball, my computer can read and write to Apples HFS format. I think it will even format to Mac, it has the option, but I didn't have much luck in practice. Could have been the drive I was working with. It was an HP external with encryption built in.
 
I'm kinda sure the difference is that Fedora was meant to be put into a LAN environ as a ready-to-go workstation, the kernel will get the SAMBA module plugged in and made to run "on demand". Not so with CEntOS. That's what the "E" is all about. It is customizable (Fedora is, as well) but primarily installs as a server system to be modified as the environment dictates.
