The goal of this lab is to guide you through the process of installing the operating system

Task A: Create a Linux VM
Install Kali Linux VM in Oracle Virtual Box.
a. Install Kali Linux as your virtual machine (VM) operating system.
Note: During the VM creation process, you can allocate different amounts of memory and
CPU cores depending on the hardware configuration of your physical computer.

Reflection
In this lab I was able to learn key skills that included setting up a VM and familiarizing myself with essential Linux commands. This lab was a great introduction to using Linux and provided valuable practice with basic commands.
