Thank you for this helpful article James / Ravi.

A couple of minor edits if I may suggest are,

with respect to the RHEL iso download, you shall recommend using DVD iso instead of boot iso, as it will lead to the error “Error setting up the base repository” during installation of OS.

There could be a tendency to download the latter as it is smaller, hence could save local disk space.

Secondly, while registering using the subscription-manager utility, please specify the username as the login id in the form of a name (not the email) which could avoid ‘nonetype‘ object is not subscriptable’ error.

Hope this helps

RHEL employees are referring to/promoting this article as a reference.

Also, impressive work with that last sentence/paragraph.

@Karim,

Both Red Hat Workstation and Server will work, I installed them many times on my VM.

@Antonio,

No costs, RHEL is free to use for home and production development and deployments.

Hi, I signed up for Red Hat and downloaded REHL-8.1 – X86_64, to get closer to the Linux world for educational purposes, I wonder if this involves any costs. Thanks.
