steps to become a linux admin - from reddit

This is what I tell people to do, who ask me "how do I learn to be a Linux sysadmin?"

  1. Set up a KVM hypervisor.
  2. Inside of that KVM hypervisor, install a Spacewalk server. Use CentOS 6 as the distro for all work below. (For bonus points, set up errata importation on the CentOS channels, so you can properly see security update advisory information.)
  3. Create a VM to provide named and dhcpd service to your entire environment. Set up the dhcp daemon to use the Spacewalk server as the pxeboot machine (thus allowing you to use Cobbler to do unattended OS installs). Make sure that every forward zone you create has a reverse zone associated with it. Use something like "internal.virtnet" (but not ".local") as your internal DNS zone.
  4. Use that Spacewalk server to automatically (without touching it) install a new pair of OS instances, with which you will then create a Master/Master pair of LDAP servers. Make sure they register with the Spacewalk server. Do not allow anonymous bind, do not use unencrypted

Install Process for GeoServer, GeoMesa and Kafka on Ubuntu 14
#For this Virtual Machine, I used the basic Ubuntu 14.04 server iso with VirtualBox.
#I created the VM in VBox the standard way and then used that iso to install Ubuntu 14.04. The only option I used for the server was SSH server
#Set up the basic software needed for the machine
sudo apt-get update
#add static IP to eth1
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaes
#add the following lines
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
