what I need to download from http://www.centos.org/?

Question

Hi everyone. Thanks in advance for the help.
I have installed Virtual Box on my computer, no I need to install Linux and then on Linux I need oracle. I am doping this all because I want to become a DBA. I recently downloaded and installed Linux Mint v14. Later my friend said this version of linux does not support Oracle. Can any-you of you please let me know, what I need to download from http://www.centos.org/?

Answer 1

If you're using Virtual Box, then I'm pretty sure that there are already pre-configured OS images that you can download and use that already contain the Oracle software you want to use.



Also, Oracle has it's own version of RHL (of which CentOS is a copy of) called Oracle Linux and I'm almost certain it'd have the best compatibility with it's own software.

Answer 2

The easiest way of doing this is to use a VM that has everything already set up for you. Get is from oracle at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/developer-vm/index.html

You get a version of Linux and the database set up for you.



To do what you want

1) Download an ISO (which is a DVD image of the install disk)

2) set up you virtual Machine with about 60GB hard disk, and about 2Gig ram, and a DVD drive and use the ISO you downloaded as the DVD for the drive.

3) reboot and install to hard drive



Oracle is commercial proprietary software. It will run on any operating system. Download it from Oracle. You have to buy it to use it commercially but is available for free for personal education and development use

Answer 3

Go to any mirror site from download>mirror section

Like, National Brain Research Center - http://mirror.nbrc.ac.in/centos/

or, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras - http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/centos/



Now, browse to directory: /centos/6.4/isos/x86_64 (6.4 being the most current version & x86_64 being the processor architecture).



Here you can download ISOs of different flavour, directly or through torrent (which I prefer the most).
