Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows instructions for editing the hosts file, but the Linux example is more detailed and comes first. The Windows-specific instructions are brief and appear after the Linux steps. There is a screenshot for Windows, but no command-line example (e.g., using PowerShell or Notepad). The document mentions the Windows hosts file location but does not provide a step-by-step example for Windows users, nor does it mention Linux tools before Windows equivalents. Overall, there is a slight Windows bias in that Windows is treated as a secondary platform, with less detailed guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide step-by-step instructions for editing the hosts file on Windows, including example commands (e.g., using Notepad or PowerShell) similar to the Linux example.
  • Include a command-line example for testing connectivity from Windows (e.g., using curl for Windows or PowerShell's Invoke-WebRequest), not just a screenshot.
  • Ensure that both Linux and Windows examples are equally detailed and appear in parallel, rather than Linux first and Windows as an afterthought.
  • Explicitly mention that the instructions apply to both Linux and Windows VMs, and provide parity in troubleshooting and verification steps for both platforms.
