Assignment 2 - Installed Ubuntu - 64-bit - 18.04.1 LTS

Steps followed -

1. Downloaded image of the latest version of ubuntu LTS from here. I've used VMware to setup the ubuntu virtual machine on my laptop.
   
   
   
   
2. Hit continue, and the virtual machine fires up! Just like that.
   
   
   
   
3. This next screen should load shortly. Once it does, click on Install Ubuntu.
   
   
   
   Select desired keyboard layout.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Select installation type.
   
   
   
   Design your partitions and you're done with the basic configurations! Click Install Now.
   
   
   
   
5. Let the installer run. Will take a while. Fast forward the installation process, the OS will reboot and you should arrive at a screen like this.
   
   
   
   
6. Enter password and login to your account. Voila! you've now successfully set up Ubuntu on a virtual machine.
