Hello and welcome again in this lecture we're going to talk about downloading sent to us which is a
variation of Redhat is identical to the Red Hat except it's free Red Hat.
It's since you get support whether Also That's why it's not free to license software.
And the same organization it creates centavos which is the free community downloadable version.
And that's what we're going to use in order to create a centaurs virtual machine.
We got a little something that's called Virtual Box.
You're probably familiar with it.
If not virtual box is something that you can download on the windows or your Mac laptop or desktop and
then you can create a virtual machine that will have a Linux operating system in it.
And it's confusing for you don't worry we're going to go over it and you'll understand what I'm talking
about.
So once you click on download virtual box I'll show you these operating system that's available for.
So I'm sure the majority of the cases people who are watching this they probably have those hosts.
So you just click click on Windows hosts has got a hundred eight megabyte file that's going to download
and install on your Windows desktop.
That's very simple.
Couple of clicks and you'll be done.
There's nothing confusing about it.
And once you're done with that then go do send thoss dot org or cental us dot org and click on it get
sent to us.
This also is very simple to get to the download.
They don't require you to create an account.
You don't have to pay anything.
No credit card information no personal information nothing at all.
You have choices of doing all of this.
But I would say just go with the DVD ISO because they'll have everything in it including the windowing
desktop that you're going to use.
And especially if you are a newcomer to Linux are you switching over from Windows to Linux with them.
This are probably the best option for you.
So click on that we'll take you to the mirror site.
You have a lot of mirror sites that you can download it from.
Depending on where you are located.
So I just click on the very first one.
It tells me right there there's going to be a four point two gigabyte file.
So it's a very large file.
It's going to take a lot of time to download.
Last time I tried it took me about a little over half an hour or so depending on your broadband connection
it can take you more or less about the same time or point to gigabyte and you just click on Save all
download in your download directory.
If you have changed it then you might say was somewhere else.
In my case it is the download directory goes to it.
So once you have done all that then we're going to go to our virtual box which is already installed
in my system.
I already have three machines in it because I'm teaching other courses.
So that's why I don't want to delete them and so I'll really just create a new one for this year.
I'm going to call it S.O.S.
Dash R H.
C S.
And as you can see it already picked Linux as my operating system and Redhat 64 bit as my architecture.
That's what I have.
And I'll just click on next as far as memory is concerned.
I'm going to give it about 4 4 gigabyte memory the rest of the stuff I believe as default default default
as far as hard drive is concerned I'm going to give it.
Depending on your system.
You can be OK with that just 20 gigabyte also.
I would give it somewhere around
for a little bit over 40 and that's it.
My virtual machine has been created.
How ever this virtual machine doesn't have an operating system in it yet.
So in order to do that I'll go to setting or I can just right click on this machine and go to settings
and then I'll go to storage and see this empty CD here.
I need to load my iso image that's already downloaded on my sister like this and then I'll go.
This automatically goes to my download page and I'm going to look for Centaurus DVD.
OK.
As you can see this is four point four make up a gigabyte actually.
So I'll click on open and as you can see not attached to the DVD and a couple of the things I need to
set in here uncheck the floppy make optical your first drive at hard drive your second drive audio.
You don't need that for we get to mess with later on.
So right now I'm not going to mess with that.
And yes we're going to check in that said was that is Don't even start the virtual machine
and you're going to come to this page and just up there and click on it because we don't want to test
the media will take forever.
And at the end you'll say Yeah the media is OK because of virtual machines are not expecting the media
to be bad.
I'm going to click on install Centaurus.
