CAELinux2008 Server (Web, FTP, File) on Vmware13.10.2009Linux Server (Web, FTP, File) on VmwarePurposesMany people want to use Linux but don't want to spend all their weekend in order to befamiliar with this operating system. This file allows to share the way that I used in order toinstall a web, ftp and file server on Wmware. The linux used is CAELinux2008 based onPCLinuxOS2007.I'm beginner on Linux and I hope that this tutorial is made with simple language in order toshare these information with many other beginners. Of course, comments about this fileare welcome.Why CAELinux2008Basically the installation for CAELinux2008 or PCLinuxOS2007 is almost similar. ButCAELinux2008 provides many different engineering softwares (computation, CAD, FEM,CFD, .). Moreover this distribution is based on PCLinuxOS2007, which propose an easyinstallation, can be used with a 32 bits processor (compared to CAELinux2009 which need64 bits processor based on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS 64bit).If people are getting familiar with PCLinux2007they will use more easily CAELinux2008 !Index1 Softwares References.22 Software comparison Linux-Windows.23 VM: Create a new virtual machine on Vmware.34 VM: Load the CAELinux2008.iso file.35 Install Linux: Run the Live CD CAE Linux 2008.46 Install Linux: Install the CAE Linux 2008 on hard drive.57 Install Linux: Restart CAE Linux 2008 from live to hard drive system.68 Install Linux: Update CAE Linux 2008.79 Web Server: Setup.1010 FTP Server: Setup.1111 File server: Setup.1212 Figure.13v1.01 - 37Sébastien Thomas
