The first step on the path to learning about CentOS involves installing the operating system. CentOS can be installed either in a clean disk environment (where an entire disk is dedicated to CentOS) or in a dual boot environment where CentOS co-exists with another operating system on the disk (typically a member of the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems). In this chapter we will be covering the clean disk approach to installation. Dual boot installation will be covered in [[Installing CentOS with Windows in Dual Boot Environment]].
