No need to reboot, it’s just a recommendation after your first update/upgrade to get any kernel changes in. You won’t need to reboot for a long time after that.

Anki is awesome but the best way to memorize commands is to just use them. After you are finished with the challenge you may want to consider practicing with real world scenarios at sadservers.com

Yep, but since VirtualBox can be used in any guest OS and a lot of people come here still using Windows, I sort of simplified the tutorial by just focusing on it so far. I want to expand the “doing things locally” in the future and I accept suggestions on our GitHub.

I’d love to add more material about containers, if you have any recommendations please share.

Oh yeah, it slows things down, for sure. But if you never used anything like vim before, that slow pace can benefit the learning experience (at least that happened to me when I started). Bottom line is: vim is a lot. Be patient and it will get easier (and faster) over time.

In a production environment? Not really, there are better ways to do it. But it’s a good beginner exercise.

Agreed, Oracle is as devilish as IBM, but I didn’t see any major discrepancies with their Ubuntu version (so far) like I saw on IBM Cloud. It’s a cloud option, but definitely not my first pick.
