Installing Ubuntu Linux in the VMWare server
- Start the VMWare Server and from the home menu, select 'New Virtual Machine' and follow the instructions that follow to install a CD of Ubuntu Linux (If the CD auto-launches within Windows, cancel it and DO NOT install it in Windows lest you erase your physical disk).
- Make sure that you allocate enough disk space for the Ubuntu Linux installation partitions without compromising the other windows applications on your system (make the decision based on how much idle disk-space you have).
- Whenever Ubuntu 'talks' of formating the drive and erasing all information, do not be scared, it's only taking about the space allocated to it within the VMWare virtual machine environment.
- The Ubuntu Linux installation will take some time to complete, and it's not any different or complex compared to installing Windows XP.
- Make choices for screen-resolution, networking and RAM usage based on the resources that your system has, how often you will be using Ubuntu Linux Compared to your Windows applications, and your network setup.
- When done, Ubuntu will restart the machine (all within the VMWare virtual machine without restarting your physical PC) and you should have a nice working installation of Ubuntu Linux within your Windows O.
- The VMWare Server allows you to break free from the Ubuntu Linux or any other Virtual machine you may be using (to use your physical Windows machine) by pressing CONTROL + ALT.
