1. Ubuntu16.04 Installation

1.1 VMware Workstation Virtual Machine Creation for not easy installation
If you are using VMware workstation , by default, system will do easy installation for you, which means all settings will be automatically entered by VMware Workstation. You wont need to provide too much or any information during installation process. We are not going to use this method in this post. We just choose  the option “I will install the operating system later” to skip easy installation.
