The advantage of KDump

Post by cosnk » 2019/02/16 05:38:50

During the installation CentOS 7.6 - 1810 Desktop on my notebook namely HP 14-ck-0023tu, I disabled the Kdump.
Does this matter?

If you have to ask about it then you probably don't need it. It's for taking a crash dump in case the kernel ever panics. You'd then need someone to analyze it for you (usually Redhat if you had a RHEL subscription). So basicaly, no.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
