Learn How to Install Linux on Windows to Run Linux in Windows!


  Article Summary:  You can easily get Linux free and install Linux on Windows so you can run Linux in Windows. Watch free sample Linux videos & see how to do this - Here!  

If you already have a computer system with Windows installed, you can easily get a free Linux distribution and install Linux on Windows. This allows you to run Linux in Windows and get Linux training so you can learn how to use Linux!

To run Linux in Windows, you run the free virtual machine "player" (program) and then open a free Linux virtual machine.

A Linux virtual machine is a complete new Linux distribution, including the Linux OS (operating system) and Linux software programs, that has been compressed into a single Linux download file.

All you need to do is download and install the free Linux virtual machine player and a free Linux virtual machine, so you can run Linux in Windows, as described in the steps below.

7 Steps to Install Linux on Windows So You Can Run Linux in Windows!


1. Download the free Linux virtual machine player to your Windows desktop


A player installation icon appears on the desktop so you can install the player.

2. Double-click on the Linux virtual machine player installation icon.


Follow the prompts to install the Linux virtual machine player. The player program easily installs like any other Windows program and this takes just a few minutes. After the installation, a virtual machine player icon appears on the desktop. This second icon is used to run the player, as opposed to the icon that was used to install the player.

3. Download a free Linux virtual machine.


This is a single large compressed file. And this file contains several Linux virtual machine files, all of which make up the virtual machine. These files provide a "pre-installed" version of a new Linux OS, including Linux software programs. Lots of free Linux virtual machines are available for many popular Linux distributions.

          Linux Tips:  When you download Linux as a virtual machine, be sure to get one that
          includesa Linux desktop. Some virtual machines are created without Linux desktops
          and are used as Linux servers.

          As a new Linux user, you will want a Linux desktop so you can easily use the menus
          to run Linux software programs. The desktop also allows you to open one or more
          terminal emulation windows so you can go to the Linux command line and run Linux
          commands.

          Linux Tips:  Also be sure to get the password of the root user, which will be posted
          at the sitewhere you download Linux. When you go to the Linux command line to run
          Linux commands, you need the root user password to run the Linux administration
          commands.

4. Create a folder on your Windows hard disk for the Linux virtual machine files.


You need to create this folder before uncompressing the single file that contains the compressed Linux virtual machine files.

5. Uncompress the Linux virtual machine files.


Uncompress the Linux virtual machine files, from the single Linux download file, into the folder you created on your Windows hard disk.

6. Run the Linux virtual machine player.


Just double-click on the virtual machine player icon that was created on the desktop. At this point, you will be prompted for the name of a virtual machine to "open".

  The "General Linux / Ubuntu Linux Training Videos" show you how to use Linux and feature using Ubuntu Linux.

The "Linux Administration & Commands" video tutorials show you how to run over 100 Linux commands.
 

7. Browse to the folder you created and "open" the Linux virtual machine.


This quickly and easily runs Linux in Windows!

          Linux Tips:  A compressed Linux virtual machine file is quite large. High-speed Internet
          accesses is highly recommended. If you don't have high-speed access, look into getting
          a Linux live CD version. These are inexpensive to buy and have delivered to you by mail.

By installing Linux on Windows to run Linux in Windows you get practical Linux training and valuable experience at how to use Linux.
