Hi,


This web site is great: http://linuxzoo.net/

I have been using it since I began learning UNIX / Linux.

Well, I have a question about it:

How does it work? How do we get a complete fresh installed machine ready for us to use as root?

It displays boot progress as we start it. The process is very fast and in a few seconds we are ready to log-in on the machine through ssh and telnet. If ssh and telnet are not availble then we can use the JavaScript Version which shows up the console direclty on a web page. This is really amazing!

This is kind of like VMWare or other virtual machine except that it is linux running in linux as a process instead of installing separate virtual machines on to disk.

It is cool that they are offering this for people to learn.

Yes, it is a kind of VM. In fact, it is UML = User Mode Linux. I found that information on the said web site.
