Oh, you have installed actual RHEL. Don't do this. CentOS is the name of RHEL when it is free. You can't use "real" RHEL without paying for it, even for learning. You must switch to CentOS.

Do CentOS function like RHEL if I should ever have to work on a server with RHEL? I don't want to be caught off guard. As for vi, I'm familiar with it. I'm familiar with Linux in general just really rusty due to not working with it in a while. Plus, as I mentioned earlier I was just trying to follow the vid step by step.
I was informed by a special mentor that Linux is the way to go. Therefore I'm trying to get a tighter grip on it to be ready for the request of it all.
Thank you again Scott for your guidance on the matter. -

Thank you again Scott for your guidance.CentOS is the FOSS version of RHEL. Basically it takes all of the FOSS components and rebrands them as CentOS.

Coliver you know I had to Google FOSS right? I hope I didn't lose my geek card for that. lol! Thank you both for that insight. So, even though it may be old, keeping the RHEL 6.4 for the sake of learning it is a waste? Just throw it away altogether?

RHEL 6.4 is the same as CentOS 6.4, they are the same operating system just branded differently. Anything you learn in CentOS will allow you to manage RHEL. You can learn more here - http://www.centos.org/about/

Which is everything. RHEL is 100% FOSS, it just isn't sold as a free package. CentOS is the entirety of RHEL repackaged as free, only the RH branding is removed.

I thought they had some specialty software that wasn't included as well? Or since that isn't part of the core that doesn't count... which makes sense.

Don't use RHEL for learning. Use CentOS and at the very least update to 6.5. There is a rather big leap in learning to 7, if possible start there or you will be learning a lot of legacy stuff that will make things harder for you.

Good to know.

And now that the CentOS project is actually owned by Red Hat themselves they are even more in lock step.

CentOS it is! I just downloaded CentOS 7. Now it's time to get my CentOS on! When I get done increasing my brain power, let me know if any of you need any help in the CentOS area. lol! Love you guys...NO HOMO!
You all are the best!

Awesome. You'll like it once you get used to it.

Since you are on CentOS7, these might help you to get a kickstart since you would like to go with the video tutorials path:

Well for some reason Centos isn't being too friendly as I am trying to install it on my VMware 10. I've tried Everything ISO and DVD ISO and all I get are errors or fail. Any suggestions.
Feeling kinda sad now. -
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Centos is the only OS I can't seem to install in my VMware Workstation 10.
I have Win 2008, 12, Ubuntu 14, Red Hat and now I'm having issues with Centos. First time ever having problems. I haven't went to bed yet. I can't figure the Unknown errors I get out. Originally I tried to install it on the same drive I had with the others. Then I moved it to C:. I tried both DVD and Everything ISOs. Everything ISO goes as far as allowing me to input a root password and then tells me that an Unknown error has occured. DVD ISO won't even load up. I tried mapping a drive to read from. WTFreak!!!! -
I only use VirtuaBox as a type 2 hypervisor so not sure what might be wrong.

WTFreak!!!!I'm sure you already found this but here are install documents - http://partnerweb.vmware.com/GOSIG/CentOS_7.html
Looks fairly straight forward, could you get a screenshot of the error?

Here is my Centos headache:
There you go Ladies and Gents. Have at her!

I burned the ISO to a disc and I still got the some results. I'm at lost with this. Watch it be something so simple. I'mma throw this computer out the window. lol!
