Next, run the virtual machine player and

pen a virtual machine, in the s

me way as you run a w

rd processor and open a document - and you

asily get Linux in Windows!

So, now you h

ve Linux running in a "window" in W

ndows. And you can run Linux s

ftware programs from the Linux desktop and

lso open a terminal emulation window, to get to the L

nux command line prompt, to run L

nux commands.

rminal emulation window on the Linux d

ok through the menus and select "L

nux Terminal" or "Linux Console" (or s

milar).
