Installing Pfsense on Centos 7 and Ubuntu
-
Hi I want to install pfsense on ubuntu or on centos, but what I can see it is not possible . I have to install it for a data centre on hardware. Is there any documentation available online?
I am new to pfsense

Not sure where you got the idea that you install pfsense on some OS... Pfsense is a distro of freebsd that has been optimized to be a firewall/router/utm setup..
Yes there is HUGE amount of documentation... Its really hard to find... They hide the big red get started button on the front of their home page
-
running pfsense on virtual machine is a good idea? is it secure?
-
Yes many people run on VM... I ran it for years on vm before got actual hardware.. And still have instance running in vm that use for lab work, etc.

Is it possible I can install Pfsense in redhat virtualization manager? I can see I can create freebsd virtual machine, but it doesn't mean freebsd os comes with Pfsense?

pfSense is an OS itself. It is FreeBSD customized and optimized to be a firewall. Simply set the virtual machine's OS parameter to FreeBSD 11 (or whatever value is available) and then proceed to install a pfSense image. Again, pfSense is an OS. You don't install it on top of any other operating system.
