Lab Environment
The SEED lab environment includes VMware, Minix, and Linux. This
environment is used for all the projects in this course, and getting
familiar with them is critical.

You can get a serial number from the TA. This serial number is
provided by VMware via its academic program. You can install the
software on your personal computers (Windows or Linux only), but you
need to comply with the license agreement described in
http://www.vmware.com/academic.

recent version) as a guest operating system on VMware
virtual machine. You can download this OS from the Internet.
