I tried installing Ubunto on a Microsoft Virtual Machine and WOW did i make things complex!!! My Ubunto ISO image would not be read by the VMC, so at first i thought that the VMC did not boot Linux images.

An install fest is an event where computer users are invited to bring
their machines to have Linux installed on their machines. The idea is
to get them painlessly over the biggest hump in migrating to Linux,
which is initially installing and configuring it for the user’s machine.
