CentOS 8 Information

CentOS 8 is the latest iteration of the "Community Enterprise Operating System", built from the source code of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, so is functionally the same, yet at the great price of free!

Here is some miscellaneous tips and tricks I've discovered, in no particular order.

My favorite text-based command-line web browser, Lynx, is not available by default until you enable the "Power Tools" software repository already built into CentOS. Type this command to enable the Power Tools repository:

[jamie@cos8vm81.dawgland.com:~]$ sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools



Then, install Lynx with the following command:

[root@cos8vm81.dawgland.com:~]# dnf install -y lynx
