Moving from CentOS 7 to another Free Linux Version to use VirtualBox and NoMachine
Budget: $30 – $100 USD
Hello,
I used to use CENTOS 7 so far but my server failed and I am no longer able to install repo files. I need to switch to another version of linux that is free that would work for the following.
1) Have GNOME so I have remote desktop like to login.
2) Ability to run Oracle Virtual box
3) Ability to install NOMACHINE to connect remotely to desktop
I paste the commands I used to use on Centos below. Let me know what I can now use to replace CENTOS and still run Oracle Virtual box and NOMACHINE on a server.
Commands I used to use on freshly installed CENTOS machine (that do no longer work since they stopped support 5 days ago).
#these are all commands
cd /tmp
yum update
yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop" "Graphical Administration Tools" (add --skip-broken at the end if it bugs)
ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/runlevel5.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target
adduser support298
passwd xxxx

yum install –y patch gcc kernel-headers kernel-devel make perl wget
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/el/virtualbox.repo -P /etc/yum.repos.d
wget https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/el/virtualbox.repo -P /etc/yum.repos.d
yum update
yum install VirtualBox-6.1.x86_64
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.30/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.30.vbox-extpack
VBoxManage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.30.vbox-extpack =(if error it means virtualbox not installed)
wget https://download.nomachine.com/download/7.7/Linux/nomachine_7.7.4_1_x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh nomachine_7.7.4_1_x86_64.rpm
#wait for nomachine to finish
yum install epel-release
yum install unar
reboot
su -l support298
unar "filename"
NEW VERSION OF NO MACHiNE (does not work):
wget https://download.nomachine.com/download/7.7/Linux/nomachine_8.11.3_4_x86_64.rpm
rpm -i nomachine_8.11.3_4_x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh nomachine_8.11.3_4_x86_64.rpm
I need you to tell me an operating system name so I can tell my hosting provider to install it. Then I need you to provide me the command lines in TXT format like I provided above so I can do it in the future.
Thanks
