Getting started
Before you can continue with the tutorial you were reading, you need to find a desktop PC with Ubuntu installed. At the Interaction Station you can find these PC's at multiple locations. The first location to try is the Open Area Open Area (to view login with MyWDKA single sign on) behind our office. All the PC's (with the exception of the iMac) on the window side of the room has both Ubuntu & Windows installed. Another option is to ask one of the available instructors to open classroom WH.02.110 situated parallel to the Open Area. All the PC's in this room has both Ubuntu & Windows installed.

After this screen comes another screen called the GRUB menu. Whitin this menu you can select the operating system (OS) you wish to boot in to. If you don't select anything you will automatically start up Windows, but because this tutorial is about Ubuntu, we will need to select Ubuntu in the GRUB menu.
