Abstract
In this chapter, we’re going to take you through the process of installing a host with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and a host with Ubuntu Server. We’ll show each distribution’s installation process using the graphical installation tools and detail the options available during installation. We’re going to perform the base installation and also install the packages needed to run a basic web, mail, and DNS server. Don’t worry if you don’t know what these functions are at the moment—we explain web servers in Chapter 11, mail in Chapter 10, and DNS in Chapter 9.
