Hi…
I am new to DevOps Learning path.
As part of Lab setup, I am seeing latest CentOS 9 from VirtualBox images from OSboxes.org. (In Lab, version 7 was used)
Shall I download it? and there are two options 1) workstation and 2)server
Please suggest version and flavor.
Thank you,
Vamsi.
Version - it shouldn’t matter too much. All the same things that are in the labs will be there, but newer versions. There may be a few minor differences in settings for some tools.
Flavor: If these are pre-installed images (haven’t run one myself), the workstation version will start up with a GUI desktop. VirtualBox extensions will need to be installed for mouse, clipboard etc to work smoothly. Server version should boot to a terminal, like the labs do. If you want to practice lab type stuff, go for server.
Thank you Alistair for clarification.
