Located on the far right of this picture (in the pink shirt,) I am a Fedora 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 user currently experiencing the x86 and x86_64 versions. I am trying to integrate useful system administration ideas for my Fedora systems.
- I am very interested in large memory model programs and multi-core computer systems. I enjoy using virtual machines (VMs) in order to develop a formidable system solution. Through the use of VMs, I am able to try out a variety of software solutions on a VM prior to installation of the software on my production system.
- I have taken RH033VT, RH131VT, RH142VT, RH253VT, and RH301VT coursework, in order to further establish my Red Hat educational foundation.
- Recently, I have greatly enjoyed 24 hour access to the Live Access Labs running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. Now, I have the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Beta running on a VM.
- My next training classes will be the "Red Hat Enterprise System Monitoring and Performance Tuning" - RH442VT and "Red Hat Enterprise SELinux Policy Administration" - RHS429 as well as "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update Course" - RHUP305
Virtual Machine Information
FYI on Virtual Machine Information integration
- Each VM has 3072 MB of RAM as well as two CPU cores allocated for execution and evaluation purposes within an established baseline VM system.
- My latest Fedora 12 (Constantine) kernel is 2.6.32.12-115.fc12.i686.PAE. I am very interested in progress in GRUB Ext4 support, NFSv4Default and NetworkManager System Connections
- Good to see how the iBus Intelligent Input Bus "input framework method system" and Ext4 file system "checksum feature for the journal" have developed.
- Very interesting to see how the Yum Langpack Plugin and the Udisks disk management improvements are proceeding.
- When I have the VMs running with 1536 MB of RAM, I am able to enjoy using VMs for executing my Fedora 9, 10, 11, and 12 systems. With the effective use of VMs, I am able to concurrently run 9 VMs on my workstation. There are three pictures at the bottom of this page:

Where I get my kernels - http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8
With mid-December procurements arriving, I will need to determine how to best utilize the 16 cores and 80 GB of memory for effective systems. Add system diagrams!!!
- Four systems with two cores each for x86, running 16 GB of memory.
- Six or seven systems with cores for x86_64, running 48 to 56 GB of memory.
- Total allocated memory will be from 64 to 72 GB of memory and will leave about 16 GB or 8 GB of memory free for host operations.
Software which I like to have running on my systems
- aide
- dsniff
- hdparm
- iotop
- logwatch
- nmap
- ntop (considering)
- tripwire
- wireshark
- xosview
Some system information
Food for thought
