Conventions

When stepping through the quickie tutorial, here are the conventions and assumptions I used:

• These quickie tutorial are targeted for Linux users that is cross between a newbie and intermediate users. A working knowledge of Linux is assume ie. proficiency in editor of your choice, basic permissions, or navigate through Linux files system.
• I use vi editor but but note that vi is not newbie-friendly editor, if your fairly new in Linux editors using nano might be more appropriate for you.
• Before going through the tutorial, I assumed that you've already read through some of the more detailed, theoretical and in-depth articles/howtos on the subject.
• Lines that are prefix with # denotes administrative commands that needs to be run on the console as root user.
• Lines that are prefix with $ are regular commands and can be run on the console as regular/local user.
• Bold and italics letters means that you need to insert these in a file or create the file with these contents.
• I assume that your local IP address on eth0 (network card) is 192.168.0.2 and that you have an Internet connection for downloading packages (unless you've setup your own yum repo which I've also tackled in other post).
• While I try to step through all the commands, I won't be able able to display the output of these commands. On some part of the tutorial, you'll have to feel your way through the setup.
  

Happy Hacking!
