That *shares* your hard drive, not erases it!Įnter your full name plus pick a username and password Warning: If you're dual booting, you'll want to select a different option You're just erasing the *virtual* disk image, not your full hard drive. Select "Erase Disk" - Don't worry, if you're using VMWare or VirtualBox, If you let VMWare Player do the "EZ Install" option, you may not see all of these screens.Ĭheck "Download Updates" and "Install 3rd-party Software" Here are some key screen snapshots as I worked my way through the installer on my laptop.

Step 2: Install Ubuntu Linux into VMWare Player (there's no need to be bleeding-edge in this class, and the slightly older "Long Term Support" version works better in a virtual machine)

iso (disk image) file containing the installer for Ubuntu Linux, version 14.04 LTS, 64-bit edition Or, if you already have VMWare Fusion (Mac) or VMWare Workstation (PC), feel free to use that. VMWare Player is a virtual machine manager that makes it possible for you to run multiple operating systems on your computer at the same time. If not, read on to install Ubuntu inside a virtual machine. If you already have a functioning Linux distribution installed on your laptop, then your homework is complete. You are more than welcome to use any distribution you see fit, but be warned that you are responsible for fixing any problems that arise! You will encounter subtle yet annoying differences, such as the specific location of files, and the specific Valgrind output files produced)Īlternate Linux distribution for older computer systems: Xubuntu 14.04 Long-Term Support (LTS) editionĭo you have a different favorite Linux distribution? All of the projects use an extremely common set of tools, and thus should work across any and all Linux distributions of a recent vintage. (Note: The 32-bit version is **strongly discouraged** for ECPE 170 labs. Pick the **64-bit** version of the operating system. Ubuntu 14.04 Long-Term Support (LTS) edition, released April 2014.

The chosen Linux distribution for ECPE 170 is: While the core operating system functionality (the "kernel") remains the same, each distribution bundles the kernel with a different mix of software. Examples include "RedHat", "Ubuntu", "Debian", "Mint", "openSUSE", and many others. There are many different variants of Linux available, called "distributions". No laptop / no computer? Contact the instructor for alternate methods to complete ECPE 170.Requires a less capable computer than the virtual machine option, because only one operating system will be active at a time.Dual-boot your personal computer (Linux + your existing operating system).Note: Oracle VirtualBox is not recommended due to its erratic behavior during the memory performance lab.Requires a computer with at least 3GB of RAM (to be comfortable), and 20+GB of disk space.

#VMWARE FUSION LINUX MINT ON MAC UPGRADE#
I'm guessing Apple will have a killer feature they haven't released yet that will make everyone upgrade as soon as they can.All labs and programming projects in this course will be done on Linux, in order to prepare you for future CS courses (and employers) that use a diversity of computing systems. I'll wait and see what Lion has to offer. Right now I just think they're combining what makes sense from iOS to OS X to make it more modern and polished and make for a better user experience, because that's what Apple is about. I don't think it's Apple's end game to make OS X and iOS one in the same. (Now if only ISP's would get wind of this and stop imposing data caps and start using their billions to improve their infrastructure) It makes sense to have it, really, with the universal move away from physical media distribution and towards downloads.

It's a consolidated place for OS X software. It doesn't feel any different than Ubuntu Software Center, really. I don't see a problem with the move toward the Mac App store. It's hard to judge the OS when we're only seen things from developer previews- a shell of what the OS will be. I think what's really going on is that they are merely taking things that makes sense from iOS and putting it in Lion. to be specific, to iOS-like feel they are creating. I think some people are sensationalizing what we've seen so far in Lion.
