Which is best suited for a server environment? “minimal.” I would favor this method for enterprise/LAN environments like an office and such. The end result would be the same as “bin” but the benefit of a “netinstall” is it’s basically like a “thin client” version of the “bin” install. Netinstall: This is a minimal version of CentOS OS that would require a URL to be set for CentOS to download and install the ISO from a CentOS software mirror. Apparently you can easily clear up this excessive “minimalism” issue by just running yum groupinstall base right after installing a minimal OS. Read up here for more details on how you might need to install a few packages via yum install I would have expected would be a part of any minimal install.
This is most likely what you want to use but just note: It is truly minimal and more-minimal than even an Ubuntu “server”/minimal install equivalent. This is good for server environments where you really only need Terminal access and a core OS. You would use this instead of “bin” if you do not need anything but a truly utterly bare CentOS OS install with pretty much no GUI. Minimal: This is a minimal version of the “bin” CentOS OS install. This is the preferred install for desktop users and not really appropriate for servers due to the desktop/GUI application “bloat.” You would burn this to a DVD or a USB flash drive and then use that DVD or a USB flash drive to install CentOS onto another system. This is good for testing hardware and if you need a minimal portable CentOS OS for use for temporary use for some reason.īin: This is the standard CentOS OS install which includes the GUI and other stuff like that. Meaning you don’t install that but rather burn that to a DVD or a USB flash drive and then boot off of that DVD or a USB flash drive. Live: The “live” flavor of the CentOS install is simply a live/bootable CentOS ISO image. So knowing that, here is what I know about the different variants of CentOS OS installs out there: This is not specific to CentOS but pretty much any/all flavor of Linux out there such as Ubuntu, Debian, RedHat, etc… Differences between distribution types. Typically-and this is not just in the case of CentOS-what is installed by a server company is a bare OS install that is mainly accessible via the command line meaning no “nice” GUI or desktop.
