Purpose In this assessment you will install a virtual machine (VM) - an emulation of a computer system in your host computer, install an open-source operating system such as Ubuntu Linux on the VM, and execute a series of command lines within the open-source Ubuntu Linux. A VM will allow you to play around and test different applications within different OSs without affecting your main operating system.

After the install, you will be required to experiment with the Ubuntu command line and the GUI interface. No instruction on how to do that will be provided. You are to find out yourself and provide a detailed report on how you did it. For this assignment, make sure to: • Install Sun VirtualBox and provide a screenshot of the final install. Install Ubuntu Linux and provide a screenshot demonstrating a successful install. Navigate to the Linux command line, start the default text editor, and provide a step- by-step written guide on how you got to the command line and what command you issued to open the editor. Use the GUI to open a text editor this time and provide a step-by-step written guide on how you got the editor open. Provide a 1-page summary recapping your experience, issues you encountered, and what similarities and differences Linux has with Windows.
