Announcing our new quest based Learning VM

[Ben Ford]

Hi,

We just rolled out the new and improved Learning VM — now with fun quests to learn Puppet at your own pace. If you've been meaning to explore the technology in depth, now you can do so with a series of detailed, multi-step quests. The Learning VM covers topics such as: accessing the Puppet Enterprise console, writing and using Puppet modules, and delving into Puppet resources, manifests, facts and more.

Check out the new Learning VM: http://puppetlabs.com/download-learning-vm

Happy learning.

I'm trying this out today. Seems quite useful, however even when I perform the required tasks, it doesn't always mark them as complete.

Eg. Conditions and Ordering quests.

Is there by chance a torrent available of these files? For whatever
reason, downloads.puppetlabs.com is being especially slow with the ovf
file for me.

Turns out the Quest system only marks progress as completed if you use the full path to the files you are applying. I was already in the right directory so wasn't using the full path.
