Join the Linux revolution. Learn why this open-source operating system is taking over the world. This course covers an overview and basic implementation of CentOS 7, a community-driven server operating system that makes a great introduction to enterprise Linux. Grant McWilliams helps you configure VirtualBox on your local machine, and covers the basics of network configuration, initial software installation, and postinstallation configuration of CentOS, including working with GNOME 3, an open-source desktop environment that makes Linux as easy to run as Mac or Windows. These lessons are the foundation for learning Linux system administration, and critical for getting a CentOS deployment up and running.
