@bnrstnr said in Centos 7 Minimal Install:

Is there ever a reason to go with one of the other security policies for centOS?

Depends where you work, usually this is set for government standards for example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Information_Processing_Standards

So theoretically if you work for the Government agency they will require you to choose certain protocols, and those profiles will make your life easier.

Start with old Desktop with Virtualization extension, something that you can install OS and dont have to remove cause of free space or you need it for something else.

Cause learning Linux or Centos or anything else needs environment, and virtualbox can work but it wont allow you play with KVM, and thats for me the big part of the fun.

Also you need to keep learning that means its is process some day you will leave it 4-5 days dormat cause your stuck in an issue the other day bulb lights up mainly due to reading this site and you get back on it.

@DustinB3403 said in CentOS rsync between servers using keyfile to pass credentials:

Nevermind, seems to work when I don't bother telling the system to use the authorized key.

That IS kinda the idea. ssh just handles that for you, even when called from another program like rsync.

@Romo said in Lookin for best method to create a network bridge CentOS 7:

@stacksofplates Another quick question, it is better to create the bridge from the os network utils instead of relying in virtmanager to create it right?

That all depends. Macvtap is quick and dirty. Also has the benefits of not allowing network access between the host and VMs (can be a benefit or a hindrance depending on your scenario). If you want Full access across the bridge, then you'll have to manually create it.

Nice deal!
