The document provides step-by-step instructions for installing and deploying Ubuntu Server 14.04 in a VirtualBox virtual machine. It describes downloading the Ubuntu Server ISO, defining the virtual hardware settings, configuring networking and storage, installing Ubuntu Server via the graphical interface, setting the hostname and creating a user, and completing the installation process. Basic post-installation configuration of SSH, software updates, and removing the installation media are also covered at a high level.

15. Networking
We want to use this system like part of our network, so in this case we are
going to set a “nic” in bridge mode, so it is going to receive the IP and
Ethernet information from our DHCP system.
So bridge mode and from our local Ethernet card.
In this configuration we don’t wat to create more “nics”.

54. Final Steps
At this stage we have a current working Linux Ubuntu box, but , obviously
we are going to need something installed to operate with the machine.
The minimum could be openssh and manual package selection.
