Now you can download a free Linux virtual machine "player" and a free Linux virtual machine so you can run Linux in Windows.
You just download and quickly install the free Linux virtual machine "player" program, the same way you install any Windows program. This takes about twenty minutes.
Then download a free Linux virtual machine and uncompress the virtual machine files from the Linux download file into a folder on your Windows hard disk. Not including the download time, this takes about ten minutes. There is a sample Linux video (free) that shows every step of how to this.
Linux Tips: There are hundreds of free Linux virtual machines available for download (at many locations on the Internet) for lots of popular Linux distributions (versions). This includes: Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Red Hat Linux, Fedora Linux, SUSE Linux and lots more!
Next, you run the virtual machine player and open a virtual machine in the same way as you run a word processor and open a document - and you easily get Linux in Windows!

Linux Tips: There are 130 + Linux distributions and various methods of opening a terminal emulation window on the Linux desktop to run Linux commands. Use these steps: click on the icon that looks like a computer screen - or right-click on the desktop and select "Linux Terminal" (or "Linux Console", or similar) - or look through the menus and select "Linux Terminal" ("Linux Console" or similar).
