By now, I am hoping that you have a better understanding of what you are going to need to follow through this book and how it will help you learn Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 networking, be it on RHEL, CentOS, or Fedora. You will now be able to differentiate the benefits of each distribution and identify the version that you will work on.

In the next chapter, we will start looking at configuring networks on RHEL 7. Additionally, we will look at how to gain administrative rights using su or sudo and its benefits. This will be particularly useful for those new to Linux administration and those who are a little lost with running tasks as an administrator.
