A **virtual machine** is an emulation of a computer that runs within your existing OS. It allows you to use another operating system inside of a program on your current operating system (e.g. Running Linux inside of Windows).

Virtual machines are a great way for new developers to get started quickly.

There is some risk to installing a dual-boot system because you're changing your hard drive partitions, but you'll be okay as long as you take your time and read the instructions.
