1 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,640 - All right, so as we have learned, 2 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,360 there are different versions in the Red Hat Linux family. 3 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,390 And I wanna tell you how to get all three of them 4 00:00:15,390 --> 00:00:19,470 because it should be your choice what you want to work with. 5 00:00:19,470 --> 00:00:21,120 If you wanna work with the real thing, 6 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,990 then you go to developers 7 00:00:27,067 --> 00:00:29,043 .redhat.com. 8 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,120 And on developers.redhat.com, 9 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,520 you can get access to free software. 10 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,920 The only requirement is that you need an account. 11 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,230 So you start by logging in. 12 00:00:40,230 --> 00:00:43,650 And if you are not yet registered 13 00:00:43,650 --> 00:00:46,050 with developers.redhat.com, 14 00:00:46,050 --> 00:00:48,270 you use one of these systems to register 15 00:00:48,270 --> 00:00:52,140 or you create your own account, whatever you want. 16 00:00:52,140 --> 00:00:53,850 So I already have my account, 17 00:00:53,850 --> 00:00:56,370 and I'm going to use it to log in. 18 00:00:56,370 --> 00:00:58,620 And after logging in, 19 00:00:58,620 --> 00:01:03,543 I am able to actually download the software. 20 00:01:07,380 --> 00:01:11,910 So in order to do so, you go to the Products link. 21 00:01:11,910 --> 00:01:13,050 And in the Product links, 22 00:01:13,050 --> 00:01:15,780 you'll find Red Hat Enterprise Linux. 23 00:01:15,780 --> 00:01:18,150 In Red Hat Enterprise Linux, as you can see, 24 00:01:18,150 --> 00:01:20,373 there's Download RHEL at no-cost, 25 00:01:21,217 --> 00:01:23,223 and you are just going to use that. 26 00:01:26,250 --> 00:01:28,050 So if you click it, as you can see, 27 00:01:28,050 --> 00:01:30,690 the download starts immediately. 28 00:01:30,690 --> 00:01:33,180 Now it'll always download the latest version. 29 00:01:33,180 --> 00:01:34,710 Now the thing is that 30 00:01:34,710 --> 00:01:36,510 at the moment that we are recording this, 31 00:01:36,510 --> 00:01:39,930 the latest version is 8.5. 32 00:01:39,930 --> 00:01:41,970 By the time you are watching this video, 33 00:01:41,970 --> 00:01:44,670 RHEL 9 is most likely available. 34 00:01:44,670 --> 00:01:46,860 And that is why I'm not going to show you 35 00:01:46,860 --> 00:01:51,860 how to work with Red Hat, but I am going to show you CentOS. 36 00:01:51,930 --> 00:01:53,643 Let's go to centos.org. 37 00:01:55,170 --> 00:02:00,170 So in centos.org, we are going to use CentOS Stream. 38 00:02:00,570 --> 00:02:05,040 CentOS Stream is what Red Hat is using as a foundation 39 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,010 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, as discussed before. 40 00:02:08,010 --> 00:02:10,440 And the nice thing about CentOS Stream is 41 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,990 that you get the latest and greatest. 42 00:02:12,990 --> 00:02:14,310 And the cool thing is 43 00:02:14,310 --> 00:02:19,310 that CentOS Stream is already available in version nine, 44 00:02:19,590 --> 00:02:22,650 and that is exactly what I need. 45 00:02:22,650 --> 00:02:24,720 So in order to download CentOS Stream, 46 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,077 you click the link, and then you select CentOS Stream. 47 00:02:28,077 --> 00:02:30,810 And you make sure that you work on the latest version. 48 00:02:30,810 --> 00:02:33,210 As you can see, the latest version is version nine, 49 00:02:33,210 --> 00:02:35,730 and it's already selected here. 50 00:02:35,730 --> 00:02:40,050 Then you select the platform, which is x86_64, 51 00:02:40,050 --> 00:02:43,413 and this is going to download CentOS Stream for you. 52 00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:46,860 CentOS Stream is what I'm going to use here 53 00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:48,720 because CentOS Stream at the moment 54 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,600 that I am recording this is the only software 55 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,600 that reflects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. 56 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,280 But by the time you are watching this, 57 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,860 even if you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 58 00:02:58,860 --> 00:03:02,850 or Rocky Linux, you'll get the exact same experience 59 00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:04,980 as CentOS Stream. 60 00:03:04,980 --> 00:03:06,480 Now as discussed before, 61 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,750 CentOS Stream is an awesome platform to get access 62 00:03:09,750 --> 00:03:12,750 to the latest and greatest software versions, 63 00:03:12,750 --> 00:03:15,570 but it's not really right for production. 64 00:03:15,570 --> 00:03:18,660 You can consider it kind of a continuous beta 65 00:03:18,660 --> 00:03:20,730 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. 66 00:03:20,730 --> 00:03:23,580 So if the final version nine is available, 67 00:03:23,580 --> 00:03:26,070 you better go for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 68 00:03:26,070 --> 00:03:28,050 or for Rocky Linux. 69 00:03:28,050 --> 00:03:29,763 Let's talk about Rocky Linux. 70 00:03:31,170 --> 00:03:35,463 So if you look for Rocky Linux, 71 00:03:36,490 --> 00:03:38,580 rockylinux.org is where you go. 72 00:03:38,580 --> 00:03:41,580 And Rocky Linux, as discussed before, 73 00:03:41,580 --> 00:03:44,490 is the completely open-source fork 74 00:03:44,490 --> 00:03:46,890 of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. 75 00:03:46,890 --> 00:03:48,300 Or better, I should say, 76 00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:52,350 Rocky Linux is the fork of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 77 00:03:52,350 --> 00:03:55,920 where you don't have to share your personal information, 78 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,050 you don't need any license agreement. 79 00:03:58,050 --> 00:04:01,170 You just click on the Download button. 80 00:04:01,170 --> 00:04:03,960 So if you click Download on the latest version, 81 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,060 and again, the latest version 82 00:04:06,060 --> 00:04:09,000 while we are recording here is version eight. 83 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,440 By the time you are watching this, 84 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,260 hopefully, version nine will be available. 85 00:04:13,260 --> 00:04:16,860 You download the latest version, there's x86_64. 86 00:04:16,860 --> 00:04:18,120 And in Rocky Linux, 87 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,430 you can actually choose what you wanna do. 88 00:04:20,430 --> 00:04:23,610 You can select between Minimal and DVD and Boot. 89 00:04:23,610 --> 00:04:26,460 I would say go for DVD 90 00:04:26,460 --> 00:04:28,890 if you have decent internet bandwidth. 91 00:04:28,890 --> 00:04:30,480 It's about 10 gigabytes. 92 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:35,480 Go for minimal if your internet bandwidth is not that great. 93 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,360 Minimal is the minimal environment, 94 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,610 but if you are going for minimal, 95 00:04:41,610 --> 00:04:44,190 you will need to download the packages 96 00:04:44,190 --> 00:04:45,660 while you are installing. 97 00:04:45,660 --> 00:04:48,090 But the advantage is that you will only download packages 98 00:04:48,090 --> 00:04:49,890 that you are actually going to need. 99 00:04:50,940 --> 00:04:53,100 So depending on what you wanna do, 100 00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:55,350 you use either of these three options. 101 00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:56,340 In the next video, 102 00:04:56,340 --> 00:05:00,483 I am going to show you how to install CentOS Stream.
