#*:''Volume Size (GB):'' If you have a pre-planned volume size use that, otherwise 30 GB is reasonable for the operating system and some modest data needs. For more information on volume usage and management see [[Working_with_volumes|Working with volumes]].

#*''Allocated'' and ''Available'' lists: The list at the bottom of the window shows the available images your VM can boot. For a beginner on Linux, we recommend the most recent '''Ubuntu''' image, but if you prefer you can choose any one of the other Linux operating systems. To select an image click on the upwards pointing arrow on the far right of the row containing your desired image. That row should now show up in the ''Allocated'' list above. '''It is important for later to remember which image you chose''' (ex. Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.).[[File:Flavor tab.png|500px|thumb]] <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

#''Flavor''
#<i>Flavor</i>
#*''Allocated'' and ''Available'' lists: The flavor determines what type of hardware is used for your VM, which determines how much memory and processing capabilities it has. The ''Available'' list shows all the flavors available for your chosen boot image. Click on the > icon at the far left of a row to see how that particular flavor matches up with what you have been allocated for your project. If there is an alert icon on one of the specifications, that means that your project doesn't have enough of that resource to support that flavor. Choose a flavor that your project can support (i.e. doesn't issue an alert)  and click on the upwards arrow on the far right of that row. That flavor should now show up in the ''Allocated'' list. For more details, see [[Virtual machine flavors]]. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
