===Main Objectives of this Practice Tutorial=== * '''Correctly install the CentOS 7 FULL INSTALL DVD (c7host)''' on your SSD using '''VMware Workstation'''. * Note common Linux commands and record them in your lab1 logbook. * Use '''Shell scripts''' to generate a post-install report for your CentOS 7 host VM. * '''Disable Linux Kernel security enhancements''' to allow easier internal networking connections (to be reactivated in a later lab). [[Image:vmwarematrix-1alayout.png|thumb|right|450px|The VMware Workstation 12 application will allow you Matrix server consists of several Virtual Computers all connected together to create and administer form a '''4 different virtual machinescluster''' ('''VM'''s) on your computer system. A cluster is a cost effective alternative to larger servers. ]]
===Purpose of Having a Matrix Account===
'''NOTE: It is feasible to use a notebook computer with sufficient hard disk capacity to perform these labs (as you would for an SSD drive)'''. It would require that your notebook computer can connect to the Internet (including in Seneca's computer labs). You would be required to follow the same instructions for this lab (SSD) Note: It may take one or two weeks before students can obtain their free version of VMware Workstation 12 Pro; therefore, it may be more convenient to purchase an SSD to be able to start lab1 immediately. It is strongly recommended to NOT use VMware Player.
