Connecting to the UA VPN Client and Ubuntu Server was successful on the first try. When I tried to test for connectivity I was unsuccessful the first time because I did a typo so I then realized I have to be very careful. Luckily I was able to have connectivity between the host browser and the server VM without any issues. Switching from mouse to keyboard mode inside the virtual machine would catch me off guard since I am so used to just being able to see my mouse cursor at all times. Having the opportunity to work through the hands-on tutorial (vim tutor) was an extreme help. For the most part I had no issues with the commands, some of which included deleting a line (dd), changing characters until the end of a word (ce), moving to the bottom of file (G), searching for a “phrase” (/phrase), substituting text, and deleting characters (x). I did experience an issue with saving a file and then exiting. I attempted to do “:wq” which exited the file but when I returned to the file the changes I had made did not save. I think I may have to look into this a bit further. During the tutorial I would use “o” a lot to get to the beginning of the line and CTRL-G to show me my location in the file. I am so accustomed to having a scroll bar on the right side to see where I am in the file but this is definitely not the case with Linux.
The configuration process in Linux files involves commands (sometimes several) which may require searching for the proper command. Configuring something on my primary computer such as changing the parameters on when my computer sleeps on battery or plugged in also involves some searching. It involves going to the control panel and trying to remember which category I must choose to find where to change the parameters. The configuration process in both the Linux and primary computer may involve searching but the difference seems to be that the process can be done on one screen in Linux versus the PC which takes the user to several screens.
