My reply above is unambiguous. I quoted your array data and gave an answer that applies to your provided array data. WRT your other questions, I do not have time to research the answer to those, and wouldn't spend it on that if I did. I have never used CentOS nor Fedora, and don't plan to ever use either. For those answers, either wait for someone to answer, or research it yourself.
