You will learn how to use a popular Virtual Machine (VM) application called '''VMware Workstation''' in order to create and manage a virtual machine (Centos Linux - Full Install DVD). We will install three other Centos Linux VMs (using 3 different install methods) in lab2.
In order to save money and resources when learning to install, manage, and network various Linux machines for this course, we will be using virtualization for this course. In previous courses, students were required to purchase a removable hard disk drive to complete this course. You are '''<u>NOT </u>''' required (preferred) to use a removable hard-drive for this course. On the other hand, it is ESSENTIAL to have a '''USB key 3.0 device (minimum storage capacity of 16 32 GB)''' to save your Linux images in your temporary Seneca lab sessions and be able to work on your VM images on your notebook computer or desktop computer at home. You will learn during this lab how to obtain VMware Workstation 12 for your use for your notebook computer or desktop computer at home.
