CMIT 391 Week 6 Discussion
Next week, the final element of your project will be due. In this phase, you'll install Linux into a virtual machine and demonstrate some Linux commands.
A vital element of the project is virtualization. Have you previously used virtualization tools, such as VMware, VirtualBox, HyperV, or others? If so, share your experiences. If not, what are your observations? How do you think virtualization might be beneficial?
For your follow-up postings, feel free to ask any questions as you begin working on the virtual install. Have you run into any issues so far? What questions do you have about virtualization?
In addition to your primary forum response, post at least two follow-up responses to your classmates.
I used the free VMware software through UMGC (have not used virtualization tools before). I was expecting to run into some issues, but have not run into a single one! Downloading the software and installing Ubuntu was extremely simple, almost suspiciously so. After installing VMware, I downloaded the Ubuntu ISO and used that to install the OS. This is the perfect way for students to mess around with CLI commands; since this is virtual, there is no chance of making irreversible mistakes to my computer. I can see why virtualization is useful, especially for developers who are constantly experimenting.
