#*''Allocating'' 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 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 /> | #*''Allocating'' and ''Available'' lists: The list at the bottom of the window shows the available images your VM can boot.
