Mark Lassoff, host of the Linux Installation on VMWare Tutorial

If you’re tired of rebooting when you need to switch operating systems, or just want to give Linux a try without committing a hard drive partition, this tutorial is for you.  In this video, you’ll learn how to install VMWare’s VMWare Player, a great free virtual machine tool.  We’ll use that virtual machine to install and use Ubuntu Linux.

Linux is a great operating system for software development.  Systems like ATM machines, POS machines a countless others run on Linux.  It’s very common on computers that run just one piece of software– like airline check-in kiosks– making an investment in a Window’s license senseless.

Good luck with the install and email me if you have any questions!
