Installing Java and Apache Tomcat in your CentOS / Redhat Server Steps : Installing Java SDK Step 1 : SSH into the server using the following command ssh –X root@ip-address-of-server Then provide the root password. Please note that you need to use the root (admin) account itself, since you need super-user privileges to install applications in the server. Step 2 : Install jpackage-utils in the server using yum install jpackage-utils You can also get the packages (using wget) from http://www.jpackage.org/ and install them manually. This will automatically pull the packages from the repository and install them Step 3 : Now we are going to install the Java SE Development Kit 6u22 for Linux.

LINUX BOOT STEP ??? The following are the 6 high level stages of a typical Linux boot process: 1. BIOS BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output System Performs some system integrity checks Searches, loads, and executes the boot loader program. It looks for boot loader in floppy, cd-rom, or hard drive. You can press a key (typically F12 of F2, but it depends on your system) during the BIOS startup to change the boot sequence. Once the boot loader program is detected and loaded into the memory, BIOS gives the control to it. So, in simple terms BIOS loads and executes the MBR boot loader. 2. MBR MBR stands for Master Boot Record. It is located in the 1st sector of the bootable disk. Typically /dev/hda, or /dev/sda MBR is less than 512 bytes in size. This has three components 1) primary boot loader info in 1st 446 bytes 2) partition table info in next 64 bytes 3) mbr validation check in last 2 bytes. It contains information about GRUB (or LILO in ol...
Download Redhat Enterprise Linux 6.1 Time to look at a few features of yum in RHEL-6.1 now that it's released Search is more userfriendly As we maintain yum we are always looking for the "minor" changes that can make a big difference to the user, and this is probably one of the biggest minor changes. As of late RHEL-5 and RHEL-6.0 "yum search" was great for finding obscure things that you knew something about but with 6.1 we've hopefully made it useful for finding the "everyday" packages you can't remember the exact name of. We did this by excluding a lot of the "extra" hits, when you get a large search result. For instance "yum search kvm manager" is pretty useless in RHEL-6.0, but in RHEL-6.1 you should find what you want very quickly. Example commands: yum search kvm manager yum search python url The updateinfo command The "yum-security" or "yum-plugin-security" package...
