OK, here’s the story.
I am a PC know-it-all and I know heaps about PC hardware and I know Windows like the back of my hand. But when it comes to talking Macintosh or Linux and all the rest I am completely useless.
So what I want to do is on our school computers (yes I am 15 and go to high school) get Ubuntu (8.10) running live from CD/DVD doesn’t matter and have VMware Workstation 6.5.0 for Linux installed onto the live so my friends and I can run Windows virtual machines and get past all the shitty restrictions their Windows installation have.
But I’m stuck…
I am so useless I cannot even work out how to install anything on Ubuntu. Can anyone PLEASE give me REALLY simple baby steps on how to make a live CD/DVD (I expect I will have to use DVD) that has VMware Workstation installed on it.
ALL help is appreciated.
Thankyou very much,

I have been working on the same thing for my high school. I have figured it out. I was going to use virtual box but it requires installation so then one day I accidentally came across this

it is called qemu. I would recommend installing a small linux distro on it.
But anyway you can pick up the .iso of the OS and run it off your flash drive + install anyhting on it.
thanks
