Notes:

  1. X11 & GUI installed in this way:  

    Code Block
    titleX11 and GUI
    curl http://yum/centos-gui > /tmp/centos-gui
    /bin/sh /tmp/centos-gui

    (very large set of packages, takes a long time...)

  2. Software installed via the GUI: Thunderbird, emacs, LibreOffice

    Code Block
    sudo gnome-software
  3. Attempt to install FastX downloaded from www.starnet.com.  Code is unpacked from a tar.gz file and run without any special installation.  Attempt to configure SLAC but code fails with a relocation error associated with /lib64/libssl.so.10

  4. TRS should not be used as it currently requires the use of DES enctypes that are insecure. WE have a todo to remove the ability for this weak-key to work. And are working to make TRS more secure so it can be used on Centos.
