Extra resources

This video is a walkthrough tutorial on how to get setup using a virtual machine to try out the Ubuntu 18.04 operating system. It was required in previous offerings of this course, but now is just a potential resource for you to use. M1 Macs cannot run Virtual Box.

• Virtualbox is a popular open-source machine emulator. It can be used to run a Linux machine on Windows for example.
• Ubuntu 18.04 and Lubuntu 18.04 are two popular Linux distributions.

Note that Ubuntu 18.04 is not the most recent Ubuntu release. As of April 2023, the most recent Ubuntu release is Ubuntu 22.04. The most recent Lubuntu release is Lubuntu 22.04.
