Linux Distributions and Virtual Machines

• Linux Distributions http://iso.linuxquestions.org/ This site contains the latest Linux distributions for those interested in running Linux in their own computers. If you do not have Linux installed, I would suggest Knoppix which is a "live CD" so no installation is need it in the HD. Also, Ubuntu is a great distribution that can be used as "live CD" or HD installation. Again, this is not part of the course requirements. Its just an option for students interested in having Linux available in their computers.
