CentOS is part of the Red Hat family of Linux distributions. It is comprised mainly of all of the GPL-licensed packages from Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

New: Storage
I am using a maximum of 15 GB on SSD. On your own PC, you may use a larger size.
Don’t forget to also add the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso as a virtual optical drive.

CentOS still creates a root (Administrator) user, which you will need to switch to, from time to time, for system admin tasks.

Updating CentOS
CTEC1863 CentOS VM Guide 42
The yum command, which stands for "Yellowdog Updater Modified" (but could also mean "yet another update manager"), is one of the tools used to manage software on RedHat Linux. To download and install updates, the command line (as root) is:
yum update

Updating CentOS (2)
CTEC1863 CentOS VM Guide 43
First, yum connects to a near-by mirror site to check software repositories for updates. It will then identify the packages that require updating...
![Page 44: Lab #5 Guide: Installing CentOS as a Virtual Machinetechnology.niagarac.on.ca/courses/ctec1863/labs/lab05/VM... · 2019-09-10 · PLEASE READ FIRST! •Important background information](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081611/5f0953687e708231d4264b9d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Updating CentOS (3)
CTEC1863 CentOS VM Guide 44
After confirmation, yum will download and then install the updates. Note, after installation, the first update is quite large, as enough time has passed since the ISO image was created.

Updating CentOS (4)
CTEC1863 CentOS VM Guide 45
Finally, yum will install the downloaded updates in the correct order. If critical operating system components, such as the boot manager, (especially the) kernel, or runtime libraries have been updated, it is a good idea to reboot.
