boot up the VM. The terms "guest machine" or just "VM" refer to the
virtual machine itself -- the thing where you actually do the tutorial
(and that you boot up on the "host machine").

-as "C<$>". If you are using Tutorial VM, the prompt will really be
-"C<catalyst@catalyst:~#>", but we will keep it short (and also use "C<$>" in

Since people obviously have very strong opinions about which editor is

- $ aptitude update
- $ aptitude install emacs

In general, it is expected that people will

+ $ sudo ptitude install gnome iceweasel
Or, if you prefer KDE:
- $ aptitude update
- $ aptitude install kde iceweasel
+ $ sudo aptitude update
+ $ sudo aptitude install kde iceweasel
You can then start X Windows with:
