just a quick followup on my previous email - hope the info was useful. This is a link to the Oracle VirtualBox with instructions, in case the students need it: <a href="https://www.oracle.com/it/virtualization/technologies/vm/downloads/virtualbox-downloads.html?source=:ow:o:p:nav:mmddyyVirtualBoxHero_it&intcmp=:ow:o:p:nav:mmddyyVirtualBoxHero_it" id="LPNoLPOWALinkPreview">https://www.oracle.com/it/virtualization/technologies/vm/downloads/virtualbox-downloads.html?source=:ow:o:p:nav:mmddyyVirtualBoxHero_it&intcmp=:ow:o:p:nav:mmddyyVirtualBoxHero_it</a></div>

And here are the instructions to download Ubuntu and install it on VirtualBox: <a href="https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-run-ubuntu-desktop-on-a-virtual-machine-using-virtualbox#1-overview" id="LPlnk901896">https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-run-ubuntu-desktop-on-a-virtual-machine-using-virtualbox#1-overview</a></div>

I don't know if they are beginners or not. When I started this was all new to me (including the use of a virtual machine), so I'm sending pieces of info that may be redundant. From our previous conversations I understand they are more well-versed than I was,
but I don't want to take things for granted.</div>

Happy to meet them and see if I can help, if you think it's useful. Let me know!</div>

<div>Hello,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm starting to get some feedback from the CLBE participants.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Two emails from Windows users requesting help with the installation.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any ideas about how to help Windows folks? I can't replicate their situation locally.</div>
