Purpose
I understand that Raid 4 was supposed to be centered around one program, but Instead I wanted to do something more beneficial and education and chose a topic to explore and provide tutorials on. Which is Linux, Ubuntu in particular, how to set it up in Windows, how to set up Windows in it, and then a short intro to how to use it and a simple C++ program to help educate and expose programming to whoever watches!

C++ |
I decided to use Ubuntu because it has to be the most mainstream and easiest to transition to after being taught only Windows. Its community is huge and is getting a step closer every day to becoming an industry standard
aqemuSo when I recorded the first tutorial about how to set up a Ubuntu VM, I went into it not having to refer to any material at all to set it up, I did it all from memory. So when the second tutorial came around I really wanted to push myself to learn something new, so I decided to use aqemu which is specific to Linux distributions and is new to me. I spent a good bit of time tinkering with it to get it to work in a capacity that a tutorial could support. And im very glad I did something new

So when I realized that I wanted to teach a little programming because it is my passion, I settled on C++ only because its a little easier on the eyes than C, has a seamless transition into Ubuntu, and doesn't take a lot to get started up!
Computer KnowledgeOne major aspect that detracts from all the tutorials is the viewers technical capacity. Not all PC's or laptops support running virtual machines, so my audience consists of those with a decent amount of knowledge that know how to look and figure it if their machine is capable of virtualization.
