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 Last metadata expiration check: 0:01:41 ago on Fri 23 Jul 2021 10:49:53 AM PDT. Dependencies resolved. ================================================================================ Package Architecture Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Installing: lynx x86_64 2.8.9-2.el8 powertools 1.6 M Installing dependencies: centos-indexhtml noarch 8.0-0.el8 baseos 246 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Install 2 Packages Total download size: 1.8 M Installed size: 6.5 M Downloading Packages: (1/2): centos-indexhtml-8.0-0.el8.noarch.rpm 747 kB/s | 246 kB 00:00 (2/2): lynx-2.8.9-2.el8.x86_64.rpm 860 kB/s | 1.6 MB 00:01 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 795 kB/s | 1.8 MB 00:02 Running transaction check Transaction check succeeded.
