Although it's been a while since the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8,
the corresponding version of the EPEL repository (Extra Packages
for Enterprise Linux) was only released few days ago. The repository contains
packages that are not provided by the official software sources, as for example
extundelete, an utility to recover deleted files from ext3/4
filesystems. Until now the solution to install those software was to build it
from source or to use the previous version of EPEL (less than ideal). In this
tutorial we will see how to add EPEL8 to RHEL 8 / CentOS 8.

In the context of a discretionary access control (DAC) mechanism, the access to system resources, files and directories, is based on the identity of the users and on the groups they are member of. This type of access control is called "discretionary" because a user can perform its own policy decisions (limited by its own permissions, of course). In this tutorial we will see how to add a user to a group and what is the difference between a primary and a secondary group on a RHEL 8 / CentOS 8 Linux system.
In this tutorial you will learn:- What is the difference between a primary and a secondary group
- How to add a user to a group by using the usermod command
- How to add a user to a group directly with vigr

NTFS is not supported by default on RHEL 8 / CentOS 8. To make our system able to read
and write block devices formatted with this proprietary filesystem, we need to install the
ntfs-3g software, which usually in provided by third party repositories like
Epel. At the time of writing, however, a version of this software source for Rhel8
doesn't already exist, therefore we will see how to install it from source in few easy steps.

- How to mount a block device formatted with ntfs-3g
- How to format a block device with the ntfs filesystem

Remote connection to computers is as old as computer networks. Accessing the graphical interface (GUI) is a convenient way of working on a remote desktop. We can leave our graphical programs running and working, and we don't need to keep the session open - we simply reconnect when we feel to do so.
VNC server is well-known graphical session server enabling remote connections that we can run with a non-privileged user. This way many users can access their own desktop on the same machine remotely, and will not block each other (apart from maybe using up the resources of the remove machine).
In this tutorial you will learn:- How to install required packages.
- How to setup and start the VNC server on RHEL 8.
- How to connect to a graphical session remotely.
- How to run graphical programs in the xterm session.

In our connected world, it is good to now in what shape our network is, from the end-user perspective. While we may not be able to change the network environment, knowing it's limits is useful. If you have to upload a large ISO image to the server, you can decide to go grab a coffee after the transfer starts, if you know your corporate network will not be able to transfer that much data in the next hour. This is of course just a random fictional nightmare, but knowing the network throughput means knowing how our systems will perform regarding network communication, and have another known area when debugging.
iperf is a handy application allowing easy client-server setup, and able to measure network bandwidth, jitter, and packet loss ratio. While it has many options to tweak our measurements, we'll use only the defaults to test the application's work.
