This is a big plus for a course like this as you're going to have the exact same experience, no matter if you're working on a windows system, a Mac system, or if you use Linux on your desktop every day. Secondly, it runs on windows, Mac and Linux. My favorite virtualization software for this purpose is VirtualBox available for First off, it's free to download and it's really easy to install. Okay, so what does this installation method and lab set up that I've been alluding to for the last couple of minutes here and what this is environment look like? First, it consists of virtualization software that will allow you to run Linux inside a virtual machine on your local desktop or laptop. This setup allows you to practice those skills and we're gonna do that in this class. In the real world ,you'll end up writing shell scripts that perform a given task on multiple systems.
A third reason to use the Linux installation method I'm about to describe is that it will allow you to quickly create an entire mini network of Linux systems. We can even take your script and run it on a system that is the same as the one you're working on. If I are the teaching assistants know exactly what system you're using, we can help you in a very specific way. If everyone in the class were to use a slightly different Linux installation, it would be almost impossible to manage the class. Another reason you're going to use the Linux image designed for this course is so that you can get help. That's the main reason why you're going to use a specific Linux installation that was created for this course. I don't want you to get hung up on little gotchas or get sidetracked by some unimportant detail. However, when you're learning a new concept, I don't want anything to get in your way. It's really important that you learn the concepts so that you can apply your knowledge on any Linux distribution or any Unix slide or Linux like system. During this course, you're going to write several shell scripts and learn a lot along the way.
