Basic Exercises

EXERCISE 1: Start and Stop Ubuntu Machine
Start and stop the Ubuntu machine. Make sure you understand the difference between closing the VNC session and shutting down the machine.

Linux
Start up your Linux machine. Login (uid/pwd: student/student), and type ”time cat” at the command line. Close the browser completely. Then, relogin to VITAL and re-establish your VNC session. Now, press the CTRL and ’c’ keys at the same time to stop the process. The ”real” time should display the amount of time it took you to relogin. You may now shutdown the VM properly.
