It is software that enables virtualization technology (VT) into your computers. Where using your actual hardware you can install multiple virtual machines. There are many vendors that provide Hyper-V technology like VMware, Microsoft, Oracle, etc. I would recommend you to download a VMware workstation (License based) or Oracle Virtualbox (Open Source) for your lab practice. Keep in mind your computer should support VT.
How to Install Linux?
If you have already installed the above Hyper-V software (if not), then will move forward to install our first virtual machine (Redhat Linux) using ISO image. Get this ISO image downloaded and keep it on your desktop. Please follow the below tutorial to install your first VM.
