1.0 Introduction
In this Hands-on Labs session, we’re going to use the Linux Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS release. The Ubuntu
8.04.4 LTS, is the fourth maintenance update to Ubuntu's 8.04 LTS release. This release includes
updated server, desktop, and alternate installation CDs for the i386 and amd64 architectures. Ubuntu 8.04
LTS continues to be maintained through 2011 for desktops and 2013 for servers through online updates,
but this is the final maintenance release of 8.04 LTS. In all, some 70 updates have been integrated, and
updated installation media has been provided so that fewer updates will need to be downloaded after
installation. These include security updates and corrections for other high-impact bugs, with a focus on
maintaining stability and compatibility with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
Solution:
In this Hands-on Lab session, you’ll learn how to setup virtual network on VMware (you may also use any
other virtual machines like MS VirtualPC, Linux Xen, or VirtualBox from Sun). In this lab session, we’ll
concentrate on installing Linux Ubuntu 8.04.4 Hardy Heron LTS which you can then later use to install any
other applications as desired.
In this Hands-on Labs, it’s assumed that your target computer is connected to the internet. After installing
the operating system, log into your machine and ensure you perform software updates to bring your
systems up-to-date.
