In order to save money and resources when learning to install, manage, and network various Linux machines for this course, we will be using virtualization for this course. In previous coursesfact, students were required to purchase we will be using two virtualization programs: In lab1, we will create a removable hard disk drive to complete Centos7 Host virtual machine (c7host) in the virtual program called VMware Workstation (this coursehost will be stored on your Solid State External Drive (SSD). You are '''<u>NOT</u>''' required Then in lab2, we will install another Virtual package on your host Vm called KVM which will be used to create 3 other virtual Machines (VMs) that will be used to use a removable hard-drive learn about Linux system administration for the remainder of this course. On the other hand, it  It is ESSENTIAL to have a '''Solid State Drive (SSD) with a minimum storage capacity of 128 250 GB''' to perform your lab sessions and provide a host for your other Centos7 host and other VMs that you will create in lab2.

* '''Correctly install the CentOS 7 FULL INSTALL DVD(c7host)''' (not LIVE DVD) on your removable hard diskSSD using '''VMware Workstation'''.

* Use '''Verify correct settingsShell scripts''' prior to proceeding with host installation stages. * '''Obtain Linux server information after installation''' to create generate a software asset post-install report for later accessyour Centos7 host VM.
