You can have your CentOS server installed from the tutorial. Alternatively we need a CentOS 7.0 client machine either server/desktop. I my case I will use an CentOS 7.0 desktop with hostname client1.example.com and IP as  192.168.0.101 Again I will be running all the commands with root credentials.继续阅读
