### Obtain media
|
||||
If you are new to Linux or new to CentOS minimal installations, I would advise reviewing all the information at the URL below. Otherwise, scroll down and select the download URL under section 2. We will be using x86_64 version, also, known as 64 bit. The 32 bit version *should* work as well.

|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
Boot from media and, generally, accept the defaults. You have an opportunity to provide time zone, a host name, configure network interfaces, provide DNS IPs, and domain search. If configured at this point, the installation script automatically configures the resulting installation using these settings. It is a time saver, however, I am going to assume either these setting have not been set or changes will be needed.

After installation, the default time zone is America/New_York. Changing the time can be done several ways. My preference is to first identify the time zone by listing /usr/share/zoneinfo. For example, /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles, then update /etc/sysconfig/clock.

##3. User account & sudo

A decision needs to be made to either use root or an user account. In practice, using a dedicated user could decreases the risk of root exploits, however, this assumes you do not granting sudo with wide open privileges (command access) to the user. I am over simplifying, so do some googling and decide for yourself. I will be using a user account named tracks with the intent of removing sudo access after testing is complete.
