# Linux Fundamentals Part 2

### Task 1 - Introduction

*No answer required, join the room to get started !*

### Task 2 - Accessing Your Linux Machine Using SSH (Deploy)

1. Click on 'Start Machine' to deploy the machine 
2. Scroll upwards and click on 
3. Connect to ssh with the following command 

```
// ssh tryhackme@<MACHINE_IP_ADDRESS>
```

Note that we need to use the IP address of the machine we just deployed , in our case it is : 10.10.2.59
