This document discusses implementing a centralized data center architecture for an LMS system using Linux. It outlines installing and configuring the Fedora 9 Linux operating system, including performing either a manual installation requiring user input and time or an automated kickstart installation using a text file to reduce time and user input. The kickstart file can be located on a boot disk, network share, NFS server, or HTTP server. The process flow, prerequisites like installation disks and servers, and components are also described.
