Faster Computing has agreed to the project. As the final stage of pre-implementation, you have been asked to
produce a training guide that will demonstrate how to install Linux and provide an overview of several common
commands, as follows:
(11.1.3: Install the software.)
Use a hypervisor of your choice to install Linux. Many hypervisors are available, such as Oracle’s VirtualBox,
which is a free download. In addition, as part of UMGC’s agreement with VMware, you can download VMware
Workstation for free. See below for specific screenshot requirements. You should include at least 3
screenshots (e.g., disk partitioning, timezone selection, creating the default account). Each screenshot should
be accompanied by a brief explanation of what you did.
NOTE: It is not necessary to include screenshots of installing the hypervisor software.
(1.2.3: Explain specialized terms or concepts to facilitate audience comprehension.)
Demonstrate command-line operations that will provide the following information:
A listing of files in a directory and common file attributes
The current directory (hint: also known as the present working directory)
Create a file, then copy it to a different directory
Create a second file and move it to a different directory
Remove the first file, as well as the copy you created
The manual page for a given command
Create a text file, then use an editor to modify the content. Then display the content of the modified file
(1.4.2: Use vocabulary appropriate for the discipline, genre, and intended audience.)
In the above section (demonstrate CLI operations) show the commands with options/arguments (e.g., ls, cp,
mv, rm) in your documentation as well as in your screenshots.
(11.2.1: Configure technology according to stakeholder specifications and requirements.)
Show running processes on the system. Demonstrate how to search for a specific process
Forcibly stop a running process
In the above section (demonstrate CLI operations) show the commands with options/arguments (e.g., top, kill,
-9, ps) in your documentation as well as in your screenshots.
(13.1.1: Create documentation appropriate to the stakeholder.)
The deliverable for the final phase of the project is a written paper with screenshots. There is no minimum or
maximum page requirement, but all of the requirements must be met. Use the Training Guide Template to
record your work. This section will be graded upon the overall usefulness of the training guide to the
organization.
