Dated Instructions, Feels Jumpy without much detail
I wanted to like this book and used similar guides from the same publisher. However, I found the instructions were not easy to follow. Perhaps the author is working off an older version of VMWare or Ubuntu. For example, taking a snapshot in VMWare is only possible in VMWare Pro (p 16), and the instructions never mention this. His instructions and commands don't always work in the latest version of the Ubuntu terminal. I had to use AI LLMs to correct the commands and get them to work properly. In addition, he presupposes that you will set up VMWare Pro (paid version) and invest more money in things to beef up your security. It would be nice if he gave options to people with low budgets and low-risk assets.
