📘 Linux Lab#LI01-1: Choose Linux

This lab may serve many purposes, and you need some idea of what you want to use your lab to achieve.

  • If you’re just exploring what’s possible on Linux, installing Linux Mint, CentOS or Ubuntu offers you a flexible and basic environment.
  • You may install OpenSuse for more concrete purposes and test these distributions on a spare computer, a Raspberry Pi, or as a virtual machine (VM) or container.
  • If you want your journey to begin at its destination, you can install Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) on a supported platform. This gets you started with enterprise-quality Linux, which means that once you perfect your setup, it’s ready to migrate into production.
