CentOS 7 installation and configuration tutorial under VMware10

If Ubuntu is the most popular Linux operating system among desktop users today, then CentOS is the most popular Linux distribution among companies, enterprises, and IDCs. Thanks to its excellent stability, countless well-known websites around the world have chosen it.

CentOS is a free version compiled based on the source code of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (expensive but very popular). Therefore, it not only inherits the superior stability of RHEL, but also provides free updates. Therefore, it is almost the largest Linux distribution in terms of installation volume among server providers and small and medium-sized companies. It has now officially joined Red Hat. For students who are engaged in Internet technology, CentOS should be worthy of your in-depth study and research...
