I tried installing Ubunto on a Microsoft Virtual Machine and WOW did i make things complex!!! My Ubunto ISO image would not be read by the VMC, so at first i thought that the VMC did not boot Linux images. [ Experienced users are probably laughing at me right now! ] Anyway, after creating a new VMC, and configuring the VHD, all that is needed to be done is to add the ISO image fom the CD menu in the VMC window!!!I have included a step by step process for newbies to create a new Virtual Machine on a winzoz OS, then install a Linux distro of ur choice.

Install Fest Petition
An install fest is an event where computer users are invited to bring
their machines to have Linux installed on their machines. The idea is
to get them painlessly over the biggest hump in migrating to Linux,
which is initially installing and configuring it for the user’s machine.

Beginners Migration to Open Source and Free software
I wrote this article as a guide for people on how to start with using Open Source and Free softwares.
The guide is organized into steps and hints about choices and ways to implement each choice.
Keep in mind that the applications or tutorials i mention here are not
ones i promote as the best available, as there might be better ones
that you can find by doing some research on the net by using keywords
from this article for example, also ones that suit certain scenarios or
use case requirements more than the others.
