-This article is the first, or actually the second in a series of installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux at a company. Right now I work in a Windows based environment, but unfortunately for my colleagues not every application runs on Windows. Especially the ones that are designed to do a lot of math based tasks, in this case risk calculations. In previous versions, these applications were installed on physical hardware with Solaris and a little bit of an ancient Red Hat edition. However, new releases, new chances and I had the chance to recreate everything from scratch, supported and well, on virtualized hardware. So I've already done my homework and got together a [[redhatvmware|best practices for Red Hat on VMware]], created a design which included a management server, a [[redhatnfsserver|NFS server]] and all required application and database server. This article is about the management server. The idea is that this server will be the central point in the linux environment and will be used as an installation server, as well as the OS as software and patches, the [[redhatmercurial|Mercurial versioning master repository]] and a few more smaller functions. More then that, this is the first server, so it will be installed from scratch, and this is the report.

 At the end you can read how to use this management server to install other servers, which is then followed by a [[redhatpostinstall|Post Install follow-up]].
