Chapter 4Installing a Red Hat Server
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is the most popular Linux distribution, and chances are that you'll install it many times during your Linux career. Gaining experience with this distro's installation process will help you become a Linux expert. If you read through Chapter 2, “Installing an Ubuntu Server,” some items within the installation steps will feel familiar. However, there are enough differences between installing the two Linux distributions that you can get tripped up.
Therefore, our goal in this chapter is to assist you through your first installation of a RHEL distribution. We'll provide step‐by‐step guidance, help you avoid pitfalls, and ultimately build your sysadmin skillset.
