Set up your Ubuntu 13.04

Hi,

In this post I will explain all the steps that i did to set up my ubuntu 13.04

1. Install vmware and create a virtual machine.
It is always better to have more hard disk size, if you are setting up linux in vm. I gave 80Gb.

2. Insert the DVD of ubuntu and power on the newly created VM. The installation is very simple. Please answer the questions that appear on the screen, like language/time zone etc. Once installation is done, this vm needs to be restarted.

3. After the installation is successful, open terminal and install ssh package
# sudo apt-get install ssh

4. Start the ssh server
# service ssh start

5. After this you will be able to use putty to connect to your vmware.

6. Install samba in your linux machine or winscp in your windows machine
# sudo apt-get install samba
# service smbd start
# sudo smbpasswd -a

You can download winscp from http://winscp.net/download/winscp516setup.exe

7. Create an iso image using k3b software, so that you don have to depend on DVD/CD always.

Thanks,
Gomathi
