Server simulator or emulator

I'm currently learning about using linux server. Is there any server simulator/emulator that I can use to practice what I have learn?

You could try installing a minimal version of the linux server you are playing around with. You won't have a GUI interface though, just pure CLI.

If you are on windows you can download the VMWare Player and use that to set up a virtual machine running ubuntu server for example.

Hmm.. well, vmware needs as many resources as you give it. If you want to run a Debian VM which is very lightweight you can get away with giving the vm as as little as 512 or even 256MB of RAM. There are other hypervisors (hyper-v, virtualbox, ...) but if you can't run vmware player you can't run the others. On Windows 10 there is the "linux subsystem" if you have some beta options enabled (google it, I don't remember what to do). It's not a server but you get a linux terminal and you can do most linux things with it. I have not tried it though.

This question is not really involved to programming...but since sololearn provide lesson on web development I suppose it might be a good idea to know more about using server

Schindlabua is there any other alternative? VMWare use lot of resource(if I'm not mistaken) and I'm not sure if the computer I'm using can handle it.
