VM + Intro to VM tutorial #131

There's obviously a problem in the variety of systems and the configuration of the systems that are brought along to codebar. It means people have inconsistent experiences and tutorials have to explain up to three ways of doing things when it's OS dependent.

I propose (and will begin) creating a VM that can be shared with students and made available online, and an accompanying tutorial about using the VM. Basic tutorial should include:

  • What a VM is.
  • How to install software in ubuntu.
  • Some analogs for well known software.
  • Super basic command line usage.
  • Explanation of sudo and why exists.

Suggestions/feedback?

Vagrant might be your friend for this

+1 for command line basics. I'd be willing to put together a quick tutorial on using the command line for version control and maybe (a teeny tiny bit) of text-editing in Vim

I'd be in for the VM creation for this.

I've been drafting an overall CLI/shell tutorial, but it keeps growing, would be good to have feedback on it, will start another thread.

@barisbalic @AVGP @deniseyu these are all good ideas. I'd say let's separate out the VM creation and CLI/shell tutorial into two separate issue. @barisbalic if you want to share what you've put together so far I'm happy to look at it and make suggestions. @deniseyu maybe you and @barisbalic could collaborate on this?

@matyikriszta yes that was always the intention. CLI was meant to be 'enough CLI to install things in the VM', but it blew up a bit. @deniseyu I would be happy for the assist if you are game.

@barisbalic @matyikriszta would love to help with command line. never had to use a VM before so i'm probably not going to be too useful on that!

hey @barisbalic & @deniseyu, can I put a deadline on this? Say end of this month the 29th of March?

@matyikriszta @deniseyu I would like to commit to that deadline but time is escaping me this month. It may be early to mid april :(

This has launched recently, and looks like a potential simplified method of understanding what a VM is...
