Three years ago I remember feeling somewhat intimidated by the idea of trying to use Putty to work with a Linux build server (as I knew nothing about Linux commands).
It may not seem like much, but today I had a friend who wanted to play with some Linux commands even though they had a Windows box. I proposed that they install a Ubuntu VMWare image, but then thought of something easier. I added a new user account for them on my virtual Ubuntu server, gave them the userId, password, and IP to log-in and play on my system.
To do this, I installed Putty on my Windows VM image and used it to connect to my server and do the setup. So simple, so easy – what could I possibly have been nervous about?!
