Linux, as the main operating system of the server, is superior to Windows in terms of processing speed and security. Although many commands need to be noted, there are usually not many commonly used commands, and you will be familiar with it when you use more, in addition, the graphic interface is required to reduce the learning cost.
Centos is a Linux version and is open-source for free. You can download and install it in the centos community.
1. Prepare the environment
Environment: VMWare 10
Linux: centos6.5 final 64-bit
2. Installation Process
Note: Because virtual machines are used, the installation steps of the operating system are slightly different from those of the physical machine.
(1) Create and configure virtual machines
Create a virtual machine and select the downloaded centos installation file:
Enter the operating system username (non-root) and password, and select the VM file storage location (not recommended for disk C ):
Select the disk space to be allocated. If you only want to test the disk space, you can allocate less space, but do not worry. Even if the disk is full, you can also use VMware to add new disk space.
You can customize the hardware information of the VM, including the memory CPU network, before completing the task. Note the network connection mode:
Bridge Mode: The physical network of the local machine is used directly. That is to say, VMWare will assign a separate IP address to the virtual machine, which is accessible in the LAN.
NAT: Share IP with the host. This mode is mainly used for standalone testing. That is to say, only the local machine can access the virtual machine, and other machines in the LAN cannot access it.
(2) Wait for centos Installation
Because most of the installation operations are replaced by Vmware, we do not need to interfere with the entire installation process. Wait for the installation to complete...
(3) log on to centos
After installation, log on to the system with the root account for the first time and connect to the network in the upper right corner:
You can view the IP address through ifconfig in the virtual machine, and ping the IP address on the local machine to verify whether the network is smooth.
3. installation is complete.
So far, the entire centos installation process is relatively fast, compared to Windows. If you are not familiar with Linux commands, you can perform related operations in the graphic interface, including configuring Chinese characters and installing software.
