Instead of manually installing Ubuntu and all that to follow along for this, it'd probably be way easier to just install Vagrant (http://www.vagrantup.com/ http://www.vagrantup.com/) and run a couple commands:
$ vagrant init precise64 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box
$ vagrant up
A few minutes and a couple commands versus a lot of manual work.
- thejosh 13y agoYep. Also I recommend grabbing the VMWare license from them if you use VMware, otherwise Virtualbox is fine. Seeing long tutorials like this make me cringe now that Vagrant is so easy to use and setup compared to longwinded tutorials... though it's better for you to learn from the first time, after the first few times (if you're not restoring from snapshot) it's tedious.
- unknownian 13y agoGP created Vagrant.
- ardan-bkennedy 13y agoDidn't know about Vagrant. Looks really cool and could definitely be useful for this scenario. Thanks for the comment.
