Setting up a linux virtual machine

Make a copy of this checklist, and use it to install and deploy your linux virtual machine.

Note:

• This document is intended for my personal use to streamline my personal workflow. This document is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to linux administration.
• Overall structure/outline for this checklist is based on the excellent book Mastering Ubuntu Server by Jay LaCroix. But contents are inspired by multiple linux references mentioned at the end.
