Step by Step Red Hat Linux 7.0 installation (64 bit) with screenshots

The installation process is not much different as compared to "CentOS 7.0 (64-bit)" which I have explained in the below Article

Once you insert and boot your machine with the RHEL DVD, you will get the below screen. Select "Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0" and Press "Enter".

As you see the installation process is initiated
Ads by Magical FindAd Options

Select the Language preference

The Next screen contains almost all the configuration which has to be performed for the installation. Since we have already selected our Language and Keyboard preferences, we can skip that step here.
Lets start by setting the Date and Time

Select your Location as for me it is Asia/Kolkatta

Next we will select the packages which we want to install. So Select "Software Installation" which will lead you to the below screen. In my case I will install the "Base Installation" package having "Server with GUI" and in case you want to add any extra Add On, you can select the same from the left panel as shown below.

Next we need to configure partitions. So select "Installation Destination"

Select the hard disk which you have used to install RHEL 7, as for my case as you can see 20GB hard drive.
Also if you want the OS to automatically create the partition select the same or else for this article lets manually create the partitions

You can create a partition with the below list of partition types. As for this article we will select LVM

Click on the "+" sign to add new partition.

For this article I will create /boot, /, swap partition under LVM with Volume Group name as "VolGroup00"

Change the partition type to Ext4 as by default XFS will be selected for every partition you create.

Once you change these settings make sure you "update settings"

By default Volume Group name is "rhel". Let us change it to "VolGroup00"

You can also configure the storage for RAID but let us skip that part as of now.

As you see all the mount points as planned are created with below name under LVM
VolGroup00-root
VolGroup-swap

Click on Done and select Accept Changes.

The last one is to Configure Network

Provide a hostname for your machine and enable the ethernet device. Next select Configure to configure network settings for your machine

Change the Ethernet device name or else you can skip that part. Next configure you IP details as per your environment i.e IPv4 or IPv6. We are using IPv4 so selected the "IPv4 Settings" and added the IP, Netmask,Gateway and DNS details in the same.. Click on "Done" to save the configuration and go a step back.

So we are done here with all the options on this screen. Next we can "Begin Installation"

As you see the installation has begun in the mean time you can add a password for your root user. Also you can create additional user by using the "User Creation" thumbnail.

Provide a password for root account.

Create a user.(Optional)

In the mean time let the installation complete. Once done click on Reboot.

Once the machine reboots, next it will prompt the below screen. Click on "License Information"

Accept the Terms and Conditions

Click on "Finish Configuration"

Next you will get the Kdump configuration page.
Let us enable the Kdump and let the machine decide the amount of memory required for the same.

I do not want to register my system to RHN as for now,also we can perform this step later so let us skip this part for now.

Next you get your Login Screen which means we have successfully installed our Operation System i.e. RHEL 7.0 (64 bit).

How to Install Programs in Ubuntu in the Command-Line

How to Install Programs in Ubuntu in the Command-Line Ubuntu has a lot of GUI-based methods for installing applications, but they take some time to search and find. Since the keyboard is usually faster than the mouse, managing your software via the command-line can be a real time-saver. APT Linux manages software through packages, individual units of software that contain user interfaces, modules, and libraries. Most applications link several co-dependent packages together, and still others allow you to choose which packages to install and which to leave out at your own discretion. This can get confusing, so there’s a package manager at your disposal to help Each Linux distribution has its own package management system. For our own near and dear Ubuntu, it’s the Advanced Packaging Tool. It has a family of commands that allows you to add repositories; search for, install, and remove packages; and even simulate upgrades and such. The commands are fairly easy ...

How to Install Software From Outside Ubuntu’s Software Repositories On Linux, you install software from package management applications like the Ubuntu Software Center. But not every piece of software is available in your Linux distribution’s software repositories. You should only install software from sources you trust, just like on Windows. Much of this advice also applies to other Linux distributions , so we’ll note what’s Ubuntu-specific and what’s Linux-in-general. DEB Package Files Ubuntu software packages are in .deb file format. This includes packages you download from the Ubuntu Software Center and with apt-get — they’re all .deb files. However, you can also install .deb packages from outside of Ubuntu’s software repositories. Many companies that produce software for Linux offer it in .deb format. For example, you can download .deb files for Google Chrome, Google Earth, Steam for Linux, Opera, and even Skype, from their official websites. Double-cli...
