Additional question: When the installer is setting the swap it sets it
to be 1984MB, the memory is 4096 in to banks? How come? Has this
something to do with the raid 1+0

Depends on what type of server. Webserver, mail server, sql server
etc. What's the primary fuction?
It's calculating the numbers in an sql base, but not running the sql server
Normally i would do something like this, but i need to ask the question
since I haven't installed on a production machine before
/boot
/opt
/usr
/var
/tmp
/home
You don't need to split /opt and /usr out usually unless you plan to
customize/use them heavily.
/tmp is good to split out for noexec mounts. I do this as another
layer to security for my webservers. It'll by no means stop attacks,
but every little bit helps, and I like to make my servers as
uninviting to maladjusted folks as I can.
An other thing, I haven't installed rhel before, only centos and notice
a difference in that yum is not a part of rhel, and later figuring out
that no updates are possible since I installed without the graphics's.
Are there other significant differences between CentOS and RHEL?
CentOS comes with yum, because it's better than up2date, and the
backend to up2date is not GPL'd. In RHEL5 redhat has done away with
up2date themselves, and use yum as the prefered mechanism.
As to the second part of your statement, I'm a little confused as to
why you think this. Other than some different artwork and the
inclusion of yum in centos < 5, it's nearly identical to RHEL (this is
one of the specific goals of the distro), and updates are very much
possible without a gui. What sort of trouble are you having with
updates?
I am not familiar with the up2date,. I have only been using yum on
centos. Browsing trough the documentation I am a little confused.. I
don't want to do the job twice or faulty by not installing what I need..
Will I be able to register with the up2date --register command?
