Hi Derek,
Welcome to the list.
My suggestion would be to install centos and start configuring it to do everything you want it to do. It might take some time, so you might want to install it on another computer or on a virtual machine.
If you're running a 64 bit version of Linux on a computer with virtual- ization support enabled, consider using KVM for a virtual environment. Otherwise consider installing VirtualBox. Either one will let you create a VM for experimentation while you keep your main workstation fully functional.
Also, check out the www.centos.org website. The wiki and howtos are very good. If you have a nearby Linux Users Group, try to attend a meeting and/or join their mailing list.

Agree, just dive in.
+1 on the advice to create a virtual machine an learn there. After your initial install create a snapshot, then you can easily revert to a bare-bones clean install and practice doing things over and over. You can also revert between snapshots to work on different things. This really helps learning and testing. My rule: if I haven't created a snapshot yet... I am probably tardy in doing so.

I'm still a fan of good old $$$ VMware Workstation. But VirtualBox works. And GNOME3 now provides Boxes as well, a nice VM management front-end.

Yeah, well, I also don't ski, nor intend to, until someone can show me how to do a Bugs Bunny, leaving ski tracks on either side of the tree without pulling a Sonny Bono....
mark, getting *way* offtopic... it is the day of New Year's Eve, though
Have a happy new year's, folks, and may the new one be better than the old.

Welcome! Joining the list is a great start. Also, reading some of the FAQ would be a good idea. In case you're not familiar with what CentOS really is, maybe check this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CentOS
As others have mentioned, a VM would be good. I personally prefer VirtualBox since it seems to perform very well without taxing the host too much.
Good luck!

Don't play with matches. Look both ways before crossing. Blue note in the third race.

Happy new year everyone!

Although I said I am new to Centos, I have been using various flavours of Linux over the past 10 years. The last Redhat version of Linux was Redhat 9.
I have a small virtual LAN using Vsphere, but this could be changed to KVM in Centos... (sorry for the wrong mailing list).
I am also into C programming, which I think Centos could be a good platform to programme on.

Just be wary of how well they can cook though. I married a classically trained chef and meals were fantastic until she got a job working at a restaurant. Now Marie Calendar and I have dinner together nearly every night. I love her to death though (my wife, not Marie, hehe).

Heh. I've been married several times, and only one could cook as well as I do.

I am also relatively new to CentOS and have been ramping up on Linux more in general. I've been working through the Chris Negus "Linux Bible 8th ed." and since he focuses on Fedora and RHEL I've been using CentOS as a stand-in. I'd like to give a big "THANK YOU" to the CentOS team for keeping pace with upstream and providing this distribution for the Linux community. There are a lot of options out there and it's nice to have one of this caliber more generally available. Thank you all, and have a wonderful prosperous new year. I look forward to standing up lots of CentOS servers in 2013.
