The goal is to try it out and generate rules for CSCI 333

Why not store virtual machines on the server?

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox

Connect to /playpen
  Note size -- how many virtual machines can this contain
  Notes protection
  Create /playpen/ISO -- change protection
  Create /playpen/VM -- change protection
  copy /csciloc/ubuntu/Distributions/ubuntu-14.*.iso to /playpen/ISO
    Can copy other distributions if you wish....

Start virtualbox
  Place your virtual disk image in /playpen/VM
    And use fixed 8 Gbytes (to keep everyone from using all the space)
    Otherwise use defaults
  Don't download updates -- too many of you for that

Reboot
  Fix screen size
    dpkg --list
      and grep for guest
    apt-get install
    Try to update and upgrade (hopefully not all at once)
