centOS & VMware

[ProTechSkills]

hi friends successful installation of centOS on VMware.i am amazed that VMware(software itself) occupied around 1 gigs of space and i am amazed that VMware created the .vdi image from very fast as compared to VirtualBox. installation of centOS through virtualbox 1111 packages were installed but in VMware 923 packages were installed. The installation process was fast as compared to virtualbox.
the installation is done and the centOS is running no Kdump issue occured as when during the booting of the OS all processes(daemons) initialized at runtime and Kdump daemon failed i will mail you the snapshot and the overall experience is good using vmware.
no need of installing openssh-server in centos as the winscp connected directly.

Hi Shivam,

This is regarding the WinScp connection and installation of openssh-server that you mentioned in your comment. The WinScp uses the SSH service and connects to 22 port. If your connection is successful without installation of openssh-server, then you can assume that the package is already installed.
To verify the same, you can execute netstat command like:

netstat -nl | grep :22
OR 
sudo netstat -nlp | grep :22

The output of the above command will look like:
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      -               
tcp6       0      0 :::22                   :::*                    LISTEN      -

You can also verify the list of SSH commands. Write ssh on your terminal and press double tab. This will list the commands starting with ssh like:
$ ssh
ssh            ssh-agent      ssh-copy-id    ssh-import-id  ssh-keyscan    
ssh-add        ssh-argv0      sshd           ssh-keygen     ssh-vulnkey

Hope the information useful.

Thanks,
