Abstract

Instruction in the area of computer networking (specifically systems administration) can be cumbersome and ineffective; and is almost always is an expensive prospect when it comes to instructional and lab facilities. Problems arise both in the classroom and the lab when trying to recreate a true computing environment. Two solutions spelled out in this paper, virtual machines and remoting technology, have been implemented to help solve these problems encountered in the delivery of instruction.
