installations

Deploying Linux across multiple systems can often become repetitive and time-consuming. Whether it’s for a small office, a large enterprise, or even for your home lab, automating the installation process not only saves time but also ensures consistency across installations. One of the most powerful tools available for Linux system administrators for this purpose is the Kickstart file. It's applicable in various distributions like CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In this post, we delve into how to customise Linux installations using Kickstart files and manage different package managers including apt (for Debian-based systems), dnf (for Fedora systems), and zypper (for openSUSE).
