Xdebug is great for debugging your PHP code in real time. There are a few ways to install it on RHEL 8 / CentOS 8, but the simplest and most straightforward one utilizes packages found right in RHEL’s repos.

Node.js is a Javascript runtime environment based on the V8 open source engine made by Google and originally used in Chrome. Thanks to Node.js we can run Javascript outside of the browser context, and use it also like a server-side scripting language, thus creating an entire web application around it. In this tutorial we will see how to install Node.js in the RHEL 8 / CentOS 8 distribution.

There are two very simple ways to create a Python virtual environment on Debian 10. They’re very similar and offer nearly the same benefits. As an added bonus, you won’t need to install anything outside of the default Debian repositories to use them.

When speaking of virtualization, VMware is a solution that can’t be ignored. While the true power of virtualization lives in the datacenters, we live in the age where anyone can run a virtual machine or two on a desktop or a laptop, given it is equipped with enough resources. These virtual machines are computers running inside a computer, and this setup has countless benefits and use cases. For instance, if you have a new software you’d like to test, you can do so in a virtual machine before installing it directly on a device you use for everyday work.
To work with these virtual machines with ease, we can integrate them with our Hypervisor – in this case, VMware – to enable the operating system running as guest to use the capabilities of the virtualization software. In this tutorial we will install the integration software, called VMware Tools on a virtual machine running RHEL 8 / CentOS 8, that is hosted in VMware Player. The same in-guest steps apply on the datacenter version of VMware regarding the tools installation. Note however, that Red Hat ships the open-vm-tools with the distribution, which is what VMware also recommends to use instead of the tools we’ll now install. Why are the tools shipped with the distribution recommended? They can be updated along with the distribution within the regular update process, while VMware’s tools need to be updated by hand (or automation, but unneeded effort anyway).
While the following steps will result in a working integration, please consider the above when you setting up your virtual systems. Outdated virtualization integration tools are a bad thing, which you will experience when you upgrade your hosts, and hundreds of alerts will appear on the vCenter consoles.

The kernel is the most important component of an operating system: among the other things, it provides support for different types of hardware and manages resource allocations.
Linux is a monolithic kernel: although its functionalities can be included statically or built and loaded as separate modules, it always runs as a “single piece” in the same address space. In this tutorial we will see how to download, compile and install a vanilla Linux kernel. The instructions provided should work on all Linux distributions, however this guide is focused on compiling the kernel on a Fedora system.

There are two basic ways to set up a static IP address on Debian 10. The simplest for desktops is through NetworkManager’s graphical interface. For servers or systems without NetworkManager, you can use a configuration file too.
In this tutorial you will learn:
Samba allows you to share your files over a local network to computers running any operating system. Samba also makes it simple to control access to these shares using a single configuration file. On Debian, that configuration is mostly set up for you, making configuring a Samba server on Debian a smooth experience.

Debian is one of the best Linux server distributions, and LAMP is one of the most common ways to host a website. Together, they make a perfect match. It’s very simple to get LAMP up and running on Debian 10 using packages right out of the default repositories.

If you plan on gaming on Debian, you’re going to want Lutris. It’s taken the cumbersome process of installing and playing games with Wine and automated everything to a point that makes everything nearly as easy as on Windows. Lutris is available from the developers through a Debian repository, so all you need to do is add it to your system to get started.
