Redhat has made a lot of changes in Redhat Enterprise Linux 7.0(RHEL 7) when we compared to the previous versions. These changes likely to remind me that what oracle has done with Solaris 11. Most of the operating system vendors are forced to include many virtualization technologies to support the cloud and Redhat also one among them. Redhat has completely changed the service management , booting process, Firewall and networking in RHEL7. The Redhat Linux enterprise Linux 7’s installation method also got changed little bit but its very simple. Let’s see that how we can install the REHL 7 .
