[dba-Tech] Free Intro to Linux Course

Hi Paul:

Ran up a free personal copy of VMWare player and browsed to a Linux application ISO. The player was smart enough to realize that the ISO was just an application and not an OS so it automatically install Linux and then ran the application. Impressive to say the least.

Running up a Linux of any flavour, on a virtual drive, would be simple.

Has almost made me think about trying linux maybe on a virtual server, even
took a look at Xubuntu earlier, and just signed up for the free audit plan,
as do not have a spare $250 at the moment.
