Linux Virtual Machine Tips & How to Use Linux in Windows
|
| |
Article Summary: There are hundreds of free Linux virtual machines for download. Learn how to easily run Linux in Windows. Read tips and watch free videos. |

The best Linux training is done by actually getting the Linux OS (operating system) running on a computer system, so you can get practical experience learning how to use Linux.
You can get Linux running by: installing Linux from a Linux CD / DVD, or by booting a system with a Linux live CD / DVD.
Another excellent way to get Linux is to download Linux free as a virtual machine and run Linux in Windows!

You can click on the links at the end of this article and watch Free Sample Linux Training Videos!
The "Linux Administration & Commands" videos (see link below) show you how to download Linux and run Linux in Windows, the steps to get
to the Linux command line, and how to run over 100 Linux commands - showing examples of lots of Linux command options.
The "Ubuntu (General) Linux Video Tutorials" show you everything from: downloading and installing Ubuntu Linux, updating your
Linux system, and installing popular Linux software programs, through to using the Nautilus file manager to manage Linux data files
on the Ubuntu Linux Desktop.

First, you download the free virtual machine player program and install it in Windows. Then you download Linux as a free virtual machine, in single large file. The single Linux download file contains several compressed files that make up the Linux virtual machine.
You uncompress the single Linux download file into a folder to put the Linux virtual machine files onto your Windows hard disk. One of these files is the main virtual machine file that is opened to run the Linux virtual machine.
To run Linux in Windows, you just run the free virtual machine player and open the main virtual machine file!
Linux Tips You Need to Know about Linux Virtual Machines
- So You Can Easily Run Linux in Windows
1. There are hundreds of free Linux virtual machines available for download, but all Linux
virtual machines are not created equal.
To create a Linux virtual machine, a person installs the Linux OS on a computer system with various Linux software programs and configuration settings. The person doing the Linux installation decides what Linux software components are installed and what Linux configuration settings are made. After the installation, the person then creates the Linux download file that contains the virtual machine files, and then makes it available for download.
For example, some virtual machines will be installed with a Linux desktop, but others, such as one that has been installed to be a Linux server, won't. Some will have a Linux firewall installed (and turned on) and others won't.
2. Get the Specs of the Linux virtual machine before doing the Linux download.
When you go to a web site to get a Linux virtual machine, be sure to have a look at the specs of the Linux download (virtual machine) file to see what Linux software components it has installed. Unfortunately, some web sites that have virtual machines don't show very much information about their Linux download files.
Linux Tips: If you are a new Linux user, be sure to only download virtual machines
that have a Linux desktop. This will make it easier for you to run Linux software
programs and to open a terminal emulation window on the desktop. You open a
terminal emulation window to get to the Linux command line prompt and run Linux
commands.
Linux Tips: Always be sure to get the password of the root user for your virtual
machine. This will enable you to log in and work as the root user and do Linux
administration tasks.
