Why not just create a VM?
- loxs 14y agoBecause by using a VM on a "baby-sitted environment" like Linode, you will most likely never have any real issues. Unless you create them yourself (which is quite likely).
- mhurron 14y agoSo don't put it in a managed environment. VirtualBox and VMware Player are free. Put it on your own machine and do it yourself. Honestly, I am becoming amazed how the attitude of I'll do it myself, especially in a learning environment is slowly seeping away.
- AgentConundrum 14y agoNot a Linode. Just on your own machine. You can run your own VM with something like VirtualBox. Just download the install iso for the Linux you want, register it as a CD/DVD in VirtualBox, turn on the VM, and away you go. It's dead simple. Even I managed to do it.
