What you need for this book
To follow the recipes in this book, first and foremost you'll need a system capable of running CentOS 7. The minimum requirements (and maximum capabilities) are documented in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux knowledge base available online at https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel-limits. In brief, you'll need a system that has the following:
- x86_64 processor (RHEL/CentOS 7 does not support x86)
- 1 GB RAM
- 8 GB Disk capacity
Apart from a system to install CentOS on, you'll also need a copy of the CentOS installation media and a working network connection. You can download a copy directly from https://www.centos.org/download/ or using BitTorrent.
