Dear friends..

Actually i am i m in totaly new in linux platform, Right now i want to do my carrior in linux. Can you suggest what the procedure i will follow to read and practice in linux and what is the best books for beggeners to learn linux Redhat easyly.

Please suggest.

Read a good intro book of linux. Install one of linux distro in your computer and use it daily. Redhat is company which sells Linux based products. In old there used to be Redhat Linux but now these days it called RHEL (Redhat Enterprise Linux) which comes for a price. Another descendant of old Redhat Linux is Fedora.

And there are already many posts by beginners asking same/similar questions. So a search of LQ would help.

Red Hat is free of cost you don't pay for Red Hat but you pay for the subscription to get updates and support from Red Hat. I wouldn't suggest to go for Fedora instead I would suggest to go with CentOS which is again an open source OS and you gets updates free of cost. For support related stuff you can always login to CentOS community or drop your query hear at LQ.

Here is the link which is for Linux for beginners: http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_boo...ers_index.html . You can navigate to CentOS part. As you said you are beginner I would say stick to a distribution (distribution mean Operating system like CentOS, Debian etc) for six months and then switch to another distribution. This will give you a feel for Linux. You will be able to make out what is common between different distribution and what differentiates them. This way you will be able to grasp any new Linux distribution quite easily.

Enjoy Linux!!!

Can u confirm me that how to download linux distro.

Can u confirm that rhel7 similar with centos 7

yes, redhat and centos are similar. Choose centos (instead of redhat) that is totally free. You need to go to the home page and look for additional information (like how to download, install, ...)
Also you can try http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=major

Thank u for ur quickly support. I have a big problem is that i want to install rhel7 in my laptop, but problem is that my laptop doesnot support 64 bit processer. So please suggest me which os will be best for practice like rhel7. I want to give globa in rhel7 . Thats why i want to practice in my home, which will better for me.


Please suggeat.

First of all why you only want to go with RHEL7, I mean is there a particular reason behind that. As I said with RHEL 7 you won't get any support from Red Hat if you just download it and don't pay them for support / subscription. Even in open source community if you come up with any issue for RHEL 7 we can try our best to provide any solution but at the end we might have to ask you to contact Red Hat which you can't as you have not got the subscription.

Secondly, RHEL7 and CentOS 7 as far as I am aware are only available in 64 bit version. Nowadays 64 bit is pretty common and I doubt they have released 32 bit version for them. Though both of them do support 32 bit application running on them. If you have got 32 bit processor I would suggest downloading CentOS 6

Is that centos 6 similar with rhel7??

Not CentOS 6 or RHEL 6 is not totally similar to CentOS 7 or RHEL 7. In CentOS 7 and RHEL 7 they have made quite a lot of changes. You might want to have a look at the following link: http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7

Is it possible to install centos7 32 bit processer in my 32 bit laptop??

No it is not possible to install a 64 bit operating system on a 32 bit machine. And as I said CentOS 7 comes in 64 bit version as far as I am aware.

Right..now how i will practice..is there any option.

Please suggest

Let me put it this way, here is the link from where you can download CentOS 7: http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos...x86_64-DVD.iso

However, all the link I can see are for 64 bit system. So if you don't have a 64 bit system you just cannot run 64 bit operating system. So if you want to practice either practice with CentOS 6 which is available in 32 bit version as well else get a 64 bit machine.

Yes...but if i will practice in centos6 ..is it posdible to work with rhel7

Please confirm..

You are not reading the comments I made. Did you read my comment where I asked you to look at the differences between CentOS 6 and CentOS 7? Did you look at the link and try to find out the differences?

Linux is Linux, if you know how to work on one you will grasp other one easily. How quickly you can grasp depends on you.

That is not something I can answer, it depends on you how you see it and how quickly you can pick it up.
