Building your own Linux/Ubuntu Virtual Machine
|
Many computer scientists and scientific computing
applications use the UNIX operating system. All JMU's
computer science labs use the Ubuntu/Mint version
of Linux.
This link provides a tutorial for creating a
Ubuntu/Mint virtual machine on your MS Windows or Mac.
Having a virtual machine is not a requirement
for this class. That said, familiarizing yourself
with UNIX will pay dividends as you progress in
your computer science education and career.
