Linux Administration Cookbook

Technical requirements

In this section, and for this chapter, we're going to use our Ubuntu machine primarily.

Mostly, this is because Ubuntu comes with a lot of the more up-to-date elements we require out of the box, whereas CentOS has had a lot of things patched backward (back-ported) thanks to its long shelf life. 

Feel free to use the following Vagrantfile:

# -*- mode: ruby -*-# vi: set ft=ruby :Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| config.vm.define "ubuntu1804" do |ubuntu1804|   ubuntu1804.vm.box = "ubuntu/bionic64"   ubuntu1804.vm.box_version = "20180927.0.0" end config.vm.define "centos7" do |centos7|   centos7.vm.box = "centos/7"   centos7.vm.box_version = "1804.02" endend
