What you need for this book

Although this book can be standalone, readers will benefit greatly from having a system with Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 7, with the operating system available. You will more effectively learn the commands and resources discussed in this book when you have the ability to execute them on a test system.

While it is possible to use many of the commands, processes, and resources covered in this book with other Linux distributions, it is highly recommended to utilize a Red Hat downstream distribution such as CentOS 7 if Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 is not available to the reader.
