In this video i will show you how you can create you own FREE Ubuntu VPS (Cloud PC0 on the Oracle Cloud Infastructure (a.k.a. OCI) and connect to it using the standard Windows Remote Connection application that uses RDP

Since making this video, even though Oracle advertise this as a FREE FOREVER offer, there are a number of people who seem to have had the VPS closed by Oracle. SO HAVE A BACKUP OF ANY WORK YOU DO ON THE VPS, JUST IN CASE.

The Credit Card requirement was intrby Oracle to ensure that there was a REAL PERSON sighing up, and not an inernet bot. They may remove 1 pound from the Credit Card then pug it back, to prove its a real card, but they wont charge you, so making the result a free VPS.
