[Cialug] CentOS & GPT

[Jeffrey Ollie]

Given that CentOS 5 is based upon RHEL 5 and that RHEL 5 is a couple of
years old now it shouldn't be surprising that stuff like GPT partitions
aren't supported.  After all, that's kind of the point of an enterprise
distribution. Give the RHEL 6 beta a try and see if it supports GPT drives.
