VMware Player installs CentOS

Installing CentOS to a physical hard disk with VMware player

Want to learn Linux, but don't know how to become a dual system? Then use a virtual machine to install Linux. Use a virtual machine to play, except for the good outfit, but also not afraid to destroy the computer, regardless of how you do, even if your Linux destroyed, do not worry, re-irrigation is good! To destroy a few times, you are the great God of the operating system, because the problem is to find out how to solve, the last knowledge is his own.

If you want to install Linux to learn, simply to become a general desktop environment, recommend the use of Ubuntu, if you want to learn to rack Linux server, of course, is recommended to use CentOS. In general, the Apache environment, the use of Linux will be more stable and secure than Windows, but the cost is also relatively low, but for the entry users there seems to be a little bit of a trouble, but want to write PHP this kind of, learning Linux will be better!

A few years ago, I used CentOS as a server, but it didn't last a few days, because at the beginning, I was not familiar with the CD ... 囧 It's a real story, and I'm definitely not going to share it with you for the first time. This time because there is no computer, and know that VMware player This kind of useful virtual machine, certainly must make good use of it!

Believe that if there is a lock on our website should know that before the introduction of a few sets of these virtual machine software , such as a soft virtual PC, the Sun's VirtualBox and now this set of VMware Player. These three sets are all of these software, the first two have a Chinese interface, the use of the more intimate, but the micro-support Linux seems poor (Ubuntu installation failure), the sun set feeling run slower, so I mainly use VMware Player to install the test.

Establishing a virtual machine

If you are not already installed with VMware Player, please click here to download the installation.

The 1th step is to activate the software by clicking on the first "create a New Virtual machine".

The 2nd step is to ask you where the installation ISO file of your operating system comes from, the first option is the CD-ROM, the second is from the computer, and the third is a little later. The second one will be automatically installed in English, so you should choose the third option "i will install the operating system later".

3rd Step This time, select "Linux" and choose your operating system type, where we have CentOS 64-bit as an installation example (and then point ﹝next﹞.

" registered " Linux operating system: Ubuntu, CentOS, Debain, Fedora

※ If you are installing CentOS, you can download the DVD version of the ISO file first.

※ More Linux can be downloaded from the University server.

※ If you want to install Mac or Windows operating system, please prepare your ISO file!

The 4th step is then to name your virtual machine, then choose the Save path and click ﹝next﹞.

The 5th step is to enter the size of the virtual machine's hard disk space, which is a dynamic hard drive, and if the 100GB does not take up such a large space beforehand, the VMware player will be maximized to 100GB. The other bottom of the setup is to see if you need to cut the virtual machine's system file into multiple, and basically don't recommend, choose "Store virtual disk as a single file" and point ﹝next﹞.

The 6th step is to take a look at the setting and make sure the ﹝finish﹞.

Activate VMware player Virtual machine

1th Step when your VMware player virtual machine is set up, open the Software main window and click on the build virtual machine on the left and click "edit Virtual Machine setting" to enter the tuning emulator.

After the 3rd step is complete, click on the virtual machine on the left and then click "play Virtual machine" to activate.

The 4th step followed by the CentOS activation! Mouse click on the VMware Player screen to fit the mouse, then press the ﹝enter﹞ on the keyboard to install it (using the Graphics interface installation).

" Notes"

The 5th step is to ask if you are checking the operating system ISO for bugs? Of course, select ﹝skip﹞ to skip the check.

The 6th step is to enter the graphics interface at this time, Mouse point ﹝next﹞ into the installation!

The 7th step is to select the system language and, of course, choose "Chinese (trational)".

The 8th step followed by the cutting of the magnetic area, if it is not clear that you can directly select the "Remove the Linux partition on the selected disk, and establish a preset partition mode."

13th Of course, the installation process is definitely faster than Windows. Install it and then re-open it and then set it up and you'll see that your CentOS system is finished!

The 14th step is installed after the login is like this, the preset browser is Firefox, is no longer ie XD.

Some parts of the above installation process are less important than the direct skip, everyone pay attention to it! Again, the CentOS is more suitable for the server, for the general desktop system, it is suggested to use ubuntu more suitable!

Installing CentOS or other Linux operating systems is simple, faster than Windows. There's a lot of free Linux software installed, and the basics of audio-visual playback, instant Messaging, OpenOffice.org, browser, and so on are all covered up, and the system's resources are very provincial, simple to read, to watch movies, to listen to music users and to In fact, Linux is good enough to meet your needs.
