At last, Red Hat has decided to act like other distros to change the hostname of the server in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
In older Red Hat releases, changing the hostname required modifying the “/etc/sysconfig/network” configuration file and edit the “HOSTNAME” parameter.
Now, all you have to do is – like other distros such as Ubuntu and LinuxMint – edit the “/etc/hostname” file and change the name there, that’s it!
A very nice article from the Ubuntu docs. It covers many questions that might arise with new Linux users or those who plan to switch to Linux.
It covers questions like:
I highly recommend reading it.
Haven’t blogged for a long time, so here is a little treat for those control freaks who want to do everything themselves. For you to upgrade your Ubuntu-based Linux distro, you have to do 2 steps:
In short, here is the command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade
I couldn’t find comprehensive articles about this, so I decided to write one myself.
In brief, here is a sample command:
virt-viewer --connect qemu+ssh://aamr@hobba/system winVM
Where:
virt-viewer: is the command itself
–connect: is obviously the parameter telling the command to connect!
qemu+ssh: telling virt-viewer that this host is reachable via SSH and QEMU is used for virtualization (since it supports Xen as well)
aamr: is the SSH username
hobba: is the remote server name
system: is a static word, just type it as it is!
winVM: The name you gave to the Virtual Machine
Anyway, I prefer spicy over it, although it’s not recommended.
Enjoy!
