These steps cover how to install Ubuntu Server Linux into your empty virtual or real machine. (The instructions are similar, but may vary somewhat, for Debian Linux.)
-
Download Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS, and burn it to a CD if installing on a real machine; otherwise, attach the download to your virtual machine's CD/DVD drive.
-
Click Start.
-
Answer all the region related questions and choose to Install Ubuntu Server.
-
For hostname, enter a2server
-
Under Partition Disks, choose "Guided - use entire disk" (no LVM).
-
Choose SCSI1 (or whatever other disk appears), and (two screens later) confirm "Write the changes to disks."
-
If you are installing Debian, and are prompted for a domain name or the root user password, leave them blank.
-
Enter user1 as the full name for the new user, and as the username for your account
-
Choose apple2 as the password, verify by retyping, and then confirm weak password
-
Choose not to encrypt your home directory
-
If you require an HTTP proxy, enter it, or leave it blank if not.
-
Choose yes to Install the GRUB boot loader to the master boot record
-
Choose no automatic updates
-
Choose OpenSSH under Software Selection (and, for Debian, Standard System Utilities)
-
Click Continue to reboot
-
When prompted, log in with username user1 and password apple2.
-
If you installed Debian rather than Ubuntu, type:
sudo sed -i '0,/-eq 0/s/-eq 0/-ge 0/' /etc/profile{: .language-bash}
-
When you're back at the prompt, type
sudo shutdown -h nowwhich will turn off the (virtual) machine. -
Recommended: If you are using a virtual machine, take a snapshot you can return to this point if necessary.
