Setup a Debian Guest

ℼ

Please use VirtualBox for an AMD64 (Intel) based Operating System such as MS Windows, GNU/Linux, or MacOS (old). For the new Apple Silicon Mac, use UTM (qemu). Create A Virtual Debian Guest:

Hostname = Your GitHub Account (e.g. “cbkadal”)
Username = Your GitHub Account (e.g. “cbkadal”)

But, you are not cbkadal. Replace cbkadal with your GitHub Account!
