VMware Workstation Installs Linux System

Basic Concepts

Virtualization allows multiple virtual machines with different operating systems to run independently and in parallel on the same physical machine. Each virtual machine has its own set of virtual hardware (such as RAM, CPU, network card, etc.) that can be loaded with operating systems and applications. Regardless of the physical hardware components actually employed, the operating system treats them as a consistent set of standardized hardware.

Understand the basic concept of virtualization, the author and the user discuss how to let ordinary users can also experience the powerful functions brought by virtualization technology, and now Windows systems account for a large proportion of users' daily use. However, many users are not satisfied with this. They want to have an understanding of the Linux system commonly used at the enterprise level. However, for ordinary users, it does not affect the operation of the system itself and can experience the learning of enterprise Linux systems. I suggest that you fully use the virtualization software VMware Workstation. The grace of Linux.

The author gives a brief introduction to the VMware Workstation virtual machine, an application running on a Windows or Linux computer that can simulate an x86-based application. Standard PC environment. This environment, like a real computer, has a chipset, CPU, memory,

graphics card, sound card, network card, floppy drive, hard drive, optical drive, serial port, parallel port, USB controller, SCSI controller, etc. The window of this application is the display of the virtual machine. Let's take a look at a simple application for installing a Linux system on a VMware Workstation virtual machine.
