Purpose
This gives you a Debian Linux system to use
on top of a Mac or Windows box.

Task 2: Download and Import a Linux Virtual Machine
Download the VMWare image for Debian 10.6.0 from
https://www.linuxvmimages.com/images/debian-10/.
Unzip the file. A folder is created with several files,
including an .ovf file.
Open VMware. From the menu bar, click File, Import.
Import the .ovf file.
Launch your Linux machine.
