Step-By-Step Install Guide Linux Fedora 13 Server

Introduction
Fedora is a Linux-based operating system that brings the latest in free and open source software to your
desktop, laptop and server, and gives you access to thousands of different open source applications. This
helpful, user-friendly operating system is built by people across the globe; who work together as a
community to create the Fedora Project. Fedora 13 (Goddard) is filled with improvements that make
Linux better than ever for all types of users. Here are a few of the new things you can expect to see when
you try out Fedora 13.

If you spend your day managing how other people around you use Linux, Fedora 13 is loaded with
features that will make your life even easier. Whether you want to migrate new users to a Linux
environment or experiment with the newest in open-source technologies to give yourself an edge, Fedora
has all the tools you need. For instance, you can download a single, tiny image file from
boot.fedoraproject.org, based on the work of boot.kernel.org, and from it run and install current and future
versions of Fedora without having to download additional images.

Do you need to log in to your office's domain even though you're on the go with a laptop? Then you'll love
the brand-new SSSD (System Security Services Daemon). This new software provides expanded features
for logging into managed domains, including caching for offline authentication. So even if you're sitting in
a coffee-shop in Vancouver, you can still access your office back in New York using Fedora.

The things you know and love are still here - but better than ever. NFSv4 -- the latest version of NFS -- is
now available by default in Fedora 13, bringing you better performance and IPv6 support. Support for
flexible, expandable logical volumes (LVM) has been added to Fedora's disk utilities, making the
measurement of disk performance a snap. And the best part is? They're all free and open source software -
- just one more thing you can impress the boss with.

Solution
In this Hands-on Labs module, you will learn how to install Linux Fedora 13 from LiveCD iso.
You’ll also learn how to perform post-installation configuration e.g., upgrade the system with
new patches and bug fixes, configure static IP address from dynamic one, change the computer
hostname, modify hosts file, perform ping test among others. You’ll also learn Webmin as part of
your arsenal. In this Hands-on Lab assignment you’ll have an opportunity to install Web server (httpd),
MySQL server, PostgreSQL server and PHP. Other assignments include installing DNS server, DHCP
server and other assignments. The entire lab training was performed on VMware, however, do feel
to use any virtual machine as desired for your lab session.
