2.2.2. Leaving the Console

The console isn’t a very friendly place to work from, we will now switch to accessing the machine remotely via SSH where we can use copy&paste etc.

First we check we can see the newly installed at all:

beekhof@f16 ~ # ping -c 1 192.168.122.101
PING 192.168.122.101 (192.168.122.101) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.122.101: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=1.01 ms

--- 192.168.122.101 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.012/1.012/1.012/0.000 ms

Next we login via SSH

beekhof@f16 ~ # ssh -l root 192.168.122.11
root@192.168.122.11's password:
