Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows guest OS settings, using Windows-specific command-line tools (PowerShell cmdlets), and omitting any Linux-based examples or instructions. The tutorial instructs users to select Windows as the guest OS, provides only PowerShell cmdlets for network configuration, and does not mention or provide guidance for Linux-based management or alternative approaches.
Recommendations:
- Include instructions for provisioning the Data Box Gateway with a Linux guest OS, if supported, or clarify if only Windows is supported.
- Provide equivalent Linux shell commands (e.g., ip, ifconfig, nmcli) for network configuration, or explicitly state if only PowerShell is available within the VM.
- Add notes or sections addressing Linux-based host environments, such as managing the VM from a Linux workstation or using open-source hypervisors if applicable.
- Clarify OS compatibility and support in the prerequisites, and provide parity in examples for both Windows and Linux users where possible.
