Try Linux on a VM

Simple guide to install Linux as Virtual Machine
For Linux distro, you can check out a custom Porteus build I made with addition of gvim, Perl, Python 2 and Python 3. It is a light weight distro, < 200MB ISO file (so, selecting RAM size of 512MB is enough for most purposes) and boots usually within 5 seconds
- Porteus_32bit.iso
- Porteus_64bit.iso
- Both the builds have a folder at /tmp/useful_files/ which contains dot files (to be copied to home directory) and handful of Perl and Python 3 programs for learning purposes
