I learned how to install it and get everything running. It was kind of confusing at first figuring out the settings, but once it worked, it made sense.<br \/>\nOverall, I learned how VMs work and why they\u2019re useful, especially for testing stuff in cybersecurity.<\/p>\n<p>Lab 2 \u2013 Working with Command Line<\/p>\n<p>In this lab, I practiced using basic Linux commands like ls, cd, and making folders.
