CMIT 391 Project

You've won the business! Faster Computing has agreed to the project. As the final stage of preimplementation, you have been asked to produce a training guide that will demonstrate how to install Linux and provide an overview of several common commands, as follows:
Use any hypervisor of your choice to install Linux. Many hypervisors are available, such as VirtualBox, which is a free download. In addition, as part of UMGC's agreement with VMware, you can download VMware Workstation for free. See below for specific screenshot requirements.
Demonstrate command-line operations that will provide the following information:
A listing of files in a directory and common file attributes
The current directory (hint: also known as the present working directory)
Create a file, then copy it to a different directory
Create a second file and move it to a different directory
Remove the first file, as well as the copy you created
The manual page for a given command
Create a text file, use an editor to modify the content, and then display the content of the modified file
Show running processes on the system, and demonstrate how to search for a specific process
Forcibly stop a running process
The deliverable for the final phase of the project is a written paper with screenshots. Use the Training Guide Template to record your work.
There is no minimum or maximum page requirement, but all of the requirements must be met. The installation portion should include at least three screenshots showing the progress of your installation. Each screenshot should be accompanied by a brief explanation of what you did. For each of the command-line operations, include at least one screenshot along with a short explanation of the commands used.

Important requirement: On the final screenshot, you need to open a command line and type in the following commands (without the quotes):
"date"
"echo CMIT391"
"echo <your name here>" (Replace your name here with your name)
The recommended format is to provide screenshots incorporated within the written narrative. Screenshots from external sources are not permitted. You must include the specific screenshot listed above or your project will not be accepted.
