在安装CentOS 6.x的过程中会出现以下界面:
这些选项有什么区别呢?转载一位网友的描述:
Desktop:基本的桌面系统,包括常用的桌面软件,如文档查看工具
Minimal Desktop:基本的桌面系统,包含的软件更少
Minimal:基本的系统,不包含任何可选的软件包
Basic Server:安装的基本系统的平台支持,不包含桌面
Database Server:基本系统平台,加上MySQL和PostgreSQL数据库的客户端,无桌面
Web Server:基本系统平台,加上PHP,Web server,还有MySQL和PostgreSQL数据库的客户端,无桌面
Virtual Host:基本系统加虚拟化平台
Software Development Workstation:包含的软件包较多,基本系统,虚拟化平台桌面环境,开发工具
这样描述似乎并不准确,笔者希望更详细地了解每个选项所包含的内容,以及它们之间的涵盖关系,以判断自己最终需要选择哪一项。
为此,我在CentOS官网上找到了答案(戳我):
