For this blog post i will be covering the installation of Ubuntu Server 18.04.02 LTS
First we need to go to the Ubuntu Website and download the ISO Link

Once we have downloaded the ISO, we need to mount it to the Virtual Machine. – For this post I’ve skipped the Virtual Machine creation as this will be covered in another post. I will however point out that if you are wanting to use Secure Boot you need to change the Policy Template to: “Microsoft UEFI Certificate Authority”
