Please help me on things that I should be familiar with on Enterprise Linux OS aside from the general LAMP. I would like to be proficient in this software and I am looking at managing Linux systems in the near future.

The most wanted enterprise Linux platform is Red Hat. For getting familiar of it you can have a smart start up by installing it.

Procedure:

1. Go for Bootable _Installation from CD-ROM, Boot sequence can be easily modified on BIOS.

2. Red Hat provides types of installation.

  • Workstation: If you are new users or want a Linux based system for home or desktop use.
  • Server: if you want a Linux based system which can perform function as a server as well as not customize your system configuration.
  • Laptop: easy for laptop and it’s like a workstation. It requires appropriate packages and also provide auto installing environment.
  • Custom: provide flexibility in your installation.

3. If you are in workstation. If offers GNOME or KDE desktop environment.

  • Workstation choosing GNOME or KDE : 1.5 GB.
  •  Workstation choosing both GNOME and KDE, and games: 1.8 GB.

4. Keep in mind the disk partitioned drive must be formatted or must be in RAW (not initialized) rather than using NFTS or FAT file system. If you choose automatic partition.

  • The size will decide on the basis of your ram.
  • A 50 MB partition mounted as /boot in which the Linux kernel and related files reside.
  • A root partition mounted as / in which all other files are stored (the exact size of this partition is dependent on your available disk space).

5. Now the installation process: here is the stimulus response.

Red Hat Linux-keyboard configuration

Red Hat Linux-choosing your partitioning strategy

Red Hat Linux-partitions

Red Hat Linux-allowable drives

Red Hat Linux-boot loader installation

Red Hat Linux-network configuration

Red Hat Linux-selecting package groups

Red Hat Linux-individual package selection
