I'm now enjoying Linux Lite. But the new kde neon is sooo beautifull, and nice to use, that I'm holding my distro hoper desires...lol. Great tutorial Savvy.
Our company(demotiger) makes video tutorials for hosting companies. I am making on CentOS too. There are lot's of negative comments here. Should we continue making tutorials on CentOS 8. These comments are raising questions.
If you want my advice.. CentOS is stopping support soon of 8 (end of 2021) and they're not going to continue supporting CentOS stable instead focusing towards their rolling release stream. Idk if that's going to drive a lot of people away from the CentOS space because it used to be a very stable distro for servers. You might want to look at Rocky linux instead which is a spawn of the CentOS stable release model.
One doubt, after flashing the USB using etcher tool, we get direct install Centos option or we need to reboot the machine and enter into the BIOS setup?
I'm using an old PC, planning on downloading CentOS 8 to a USB or DVD. Do I just boot from the DVD drive or USB after building the ISO? Didn't seem to work on my Windows 10 laptop. Check the bios and it does boot from the Hard drive, DVD than the USB. It always boot up Windows, and than says, E: drive is not formatted. Guessing it doesn't see the Linux ISO at boot. Silly me, I have to change the boot order so the HD boots last. lol.
Make sure the dvd / usb is the first to boot not the hard drive. Also I suggest going with Rocky Linux since CentOS is deprecated as of this new year. Here's a link to the Rocky Linux install - ruclips.net/video/Z0Yv-od4rqs/видео.html
I personally would check out ubuntu server / rocky linux (Rocky is a clone of RHEL so it's the same as what CentOS used to be). Here's links to both: Rocky - ruclips.net/video/Z0Yv-od4rqs/видео.html Ubuntu Server - ruclips.net/video/zs2zdVPwZ7E/видео.html
While i trying to hard install, i got error' i don't know exactly my erorrr it says The following error occurred while installing. This is a fatal errot and installation will be aborted DNF error: Error in POSTIN scriptlet in rpm package coreutils-common
Hey Savvy Great Video Once I completed my installation, My WIFI is not taking it is showing " WIFI ADAPTER NOT FOUND" Can you please create a video and show how to solve this issue
@Lijo Jos - Where do you see this error? You might have to download/install a driver for your specific wifi adapter. Search for the brand/model of the adapter online and look for a driver that applies to CentOS.
I want to take my windows files and back them up on my linux Centos 8 box. Sure the in the internet can show me how, but I liked your video so much. So it would be cool if you could show me how. Plus who knows I might run into problems. I am sure you know the way!
You probably just need to install SSH on all your computers and you can transfer files through the your local network from Windows to Linux through a terminal. Here are some videos I have on the subject -> ruclips.net/video/JbMgOKlj5fE/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/2u0I-U0D7Uk/видео.html All you'll need to install on the Linux side of things is openssh-server. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Make sure to smash the like button and subscribe if you haven't already ;)
@@SavvyNik yeah I figured it out. But then my file transfer was so large and I had to go sleep, Woke up and some of transfers failed. Which is fine, but it just makes me mad, because I do not want this Linux box to ever idle. I think that is what happened. Plus th subnets got messed up somehow on their own which is wierd. But yeah man, you are cool, I subscribed and liked. Thank you. Plus I am using Cenots 8 which is really nice. It installs all the latests Python and SSH, it is a dream. But the funny thing is, why is it so hard to install applications on Linux. I mean in Windows you just click on an icon and it just works. With Linux it has to install this stuff. Like I installed GNS3 and I was like where is the icon? I am no pro at linux yet, going for my LPI Cert. But man does installing stuff have to be this difficult in this day and age? Jeez. Well it is challenge to figure out. I used to hate Linux, but now I am getting really into it. Due to Python programming.
Yes, linux is supreme when it comes to development/programming. Good luck and look into package managers they'll help sort the application install issues out. They are extremely powerful when you understand how to use them properly. Even faster than just double clicking a setup exe because the download and install takes place all at once and any dependencies are found as well.
@Mahesh Pramod - The best? Wow that's a hard one to answer. I find there are different options depending what experience a user wants. If you want a distro with great support and that's stable I'd go with Ubuntu personally (LTS). There's so much documentation and information about Ubuntu it just makes things much easier. You also have so many different flavors to choose from. It can be bloated though and they've started adding services that can push data back to Canonical which sucks, but all these can be turned off in privacy settings. As far as, bloated you can install the server version and configure it however you want and that's minimal. Otherwise, if you are really strict and a minimalist I'd go with Arch Linux, but it can be a pain for new users and requires you to add in absolutely everything (time consuming). Finally, a mention if it's a new user who wants a similar Windows experience I like to suggest Zorin OS. I guess if I had to just pick one it'd be Ubuntu. I've used it for years now and it hasn't failed me and there's been great development with their stable releases and I see it continuing on for years to come! Hopefully, that gives you a little insight sorry for the rambling, but you posed a hard question! haha
@@SavvyNik Just curious to know abt your opinion thats its glad to know 😂😊 I am planning to install arch but need a guide hope you might upload on hoe to install arch linux in future videos

Hi I am Rajasekaran, I have installed CentOS 8.4, After installation completed & reboot first one selected going to localhost# but grapgics mode not going help me.
Hi, just wondering what else should I need if I would like to create a web server for my clients. I'm a web designer and just tired of shared hostings. I would like to get an unmanaged dedicated server from the data center, where I will be able to install CentOS, but I'm not too sure what else should I consider installing there in order to be super secure, I know we are never secure enough, but you get the point. Again I can get the server with already pre-installed CentOS and CPanel, but are there many more tools that need to be installed to provide me a web hosting level security? Managed dedicated servers are super expensive, so trying to save a bit of money on the way to scale my business. Many thank for your time and thanks for the video!
Hi Maverick, glad you enjoyed the video. Honestly, in my opinion I wouldn't bother setting up self hosting on a dedicated server. There are just too many things that work against you now-a-days when you take the server public from DDOS attacks, SQL injection, software vulnerabilities (yes this includes software like apache as well), maintenance, backups/redundancy.. Of course there's more but I'll stop rambling. I think the easiest thing would be to create a cloud server for scalability, deployment, and keeping backups is super simple. At the end of the day you would probably saving yourself money not worrying about maintaining / monitoring a web server because there's direct solutions for this. Don't get me wrong there's still a place for dedicated servers, but I'd say those places are mainly in offices where you want storage or internal access to an web app of some sort. There's also programs to get you started like the google cloud which allow you to install a Linux web server and give you a bit of credit to keep it going for a year so you can get used to the platform. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but it might save you the headache.
@@SavvyNik that’s what I hear all the time when I ask this question. Yes I completely understand. No I don’t really want to use cloud hosting ;) I will probably go to managed VPS then or managed dedicated server. I need something fast and stable. Once again thanks for your honesty and taking the time and answering my question. ;)
I want to install RHEL on my laptop as my primary operating system. I am booting the installation from the USB (formatted with Etcher). However, when it comes to disk selection, even though my ssd disk is 256Gbs, it says 4Mbs available. What can be the issue here? Can anybody help me?
Hi there, I did install centos 8 on my old laptop, to try and give it new life, the problem is before clicking on reboot, I forgot to unplug my USB, so it booted in the installer, so I force shut my pc off and now it turned on 2 times getting stuck in the loading screen, and now it is stuck on some strange one string pci check screen, all black, only a string saying something about pm cap regs and a blinking underscore... Do I have to reinstall everything?
If you shutdown your computer removed the USB and then tried starting up and it's giving you issues than likely something is corrupt. Reinstall might be the best idea at this point. Be sure to remove the USB when being told or only when the computer is turned off.
I want to use the Centos workstation on my home desk top. I have 1 nvm1 holding Windows 10 and a blank 1TB drive. I get all the way past installing it onto my blank 1TB SSD but when I change it in my boot order my computer refuses to boot to it. Did I do something wrong?
I dd the iso to a usb device but is it is not recognized as a bootable . These instructions are useless without mentioning CSM, secure boot or other UEFI settings. Sorry
I'm very new to using Linux, the computer I'm installing CentOS to has an on board VGA video card and an add on NVIDIA Quadro card, I need to use the NVIDIA card for my video display, but I don't anything in the system tools to change that, anyone have any ideas how to change this?
I'm not sure I follow completely, but it seems like you will be changing the graphics card eventually. Maybe you can install the proper drivers in CentOS before switching cards (proprietary NVidia drivers) and then after you make the switch you might be able to disable the old internal graphics through BIOs.

@@offgridhomesteaders863 Here's a video that I made explaining what's going on and what can be done. ruclips.net/video/-pVgFLbWkpM/видео.html Recommendations? You might want to look at Ubuntu Server edition, debian, or RHEL if it's something you want to purchase and keep the same base system of CentOS.
I have tried to install this piece of shit twice. Each time I get gnome desktop but nothing is working. Mouse clicks do nothing. Keyboard action do nothing. These distros will die because they are pure crap.
lol it is a bit weird.. but I guess for servers you more than likely want to setup static ip's so the installer wants to take you through where you would set that up.
