Fedora to CentOS migration

Today, a client needed a Fedora > CentOS migration. I ended up migrating 12 servers with a LOT of configuration.

Mainly, what I did is to re-configuring kickstarts; four of them to be exact. Each of these had specific configurations and a kilometer-long post section.

The main issues were:

  • Identifying which …

Fuse mount options

Today, I had a hard time figuring out these. I had to compile it myself since Fedora doesn't provide the example directory.

HowTo: Appfirst with SELinux enabled

Ok, first off, I hate people that say "turn off SELinux"... man, those idiots might as well tell you to turn off your firewall and open up your servers to the world.

This sounds like a nice gesture but, in today's internet, it's a shortcut to online suicide.

Anyway, here's …
