Linux in Minutes

This is somewhat interactive video towards establishing a VoIP application server. In this video we'll see the very basic Linux installation. This is CentOS which is most popular for deploying Asterisk Open Source VoIP Servers.I've used Oracle Virtual machine, another free software to create this virtual machine. CentOS 5.5 is also available free of cost. At the end of this tutorial our CentOS machine will be ready to communicate over LAN/WAN.

A brief summary of the commands or files I've used.

Command/File	Brief Description
ifconfig	Equivalent to Windows ipconfig to view network interfaces configured.
cat	Output contents of file in its argument to screen
echo	Print lines/text to screen
>>	Append output of left command to file specified at right
ip addr	Equivalent to viewing ifconfig briefly.
/etc/resolve.conf	File where IP addresses of DNS servers are mentioned (Imp. to resolve URLs)
logout	Logout from terminal session.
