Linux Audio Streaming. This tutorial outlines the installation and set-up of an Icecast MP3 audio streaming server using the binary Linux RPM from icecast.org.
Icecast comes with an http server built in. Icecast can use this if staticdir directive is incuded in the configuration file or icecast will use an existing server such as Apache or Netscape. This example will employ the http server within Icecast. Note on using Linux RPM's: The configuration I used was the icecast 1.3.10 server from the RPM downloaded from icecast.org and the shout module supplied by the Red Hat RPM. The icecast.org icecast-1.3.10 RPM did not include the shout module. Icecast Setup: Using TCP wrappers: File: /etc/hosts.deny or use nothing at all to allow everyone. More Icecast Info: People typically use 128 kbps compression mono MP3 files.

How to pimp your CentOS into a perfect desktop. Updated: August 15, 2011 When it comes to being used as a desktop operating system, CentOS has several major advantages: it is super-stable and offers a very long-term support, which are a blessing for people seeking serious work. On the other hand, the rock-solidness comes with one possible flaw; you don't always get the latest and greatest software.
