CentOS - Jan 2017 - I'm making the change to a new OS

Decided to upgrade to 7.x.

It's been a good ride 6.x, but you're living in the past.

Everything is backed up, just waiting on my new 4TB HD to arrive for a fresh
install.

See ya'll on the other side!!

I just built a brand new Centos 7 machine for a friend this weekend.  I
did a net install.  All went well once I figured my way through the
installer.  It took me a while to find the button that I need to click
to turn on the network connection.

Actually, I've been running a centos 7 vm for a couple months now on a 6.8
system with no problems. Just been scared to do a fresh install because it
can't be upgraded from 6.8.

I'm saving the old HD just in case I need to revert back.

This will be the first time in 20 yrs that I'll try 'custom'
partitioning. I've always gone the default route. I want to setup extra
space/partition for backups until I can build a stand alone NAS.

I hope all my config files in 6.8 work in 7.3.
