Hello Forum,

I was wondering if i could install Ansible on Ubuntu 20 host and try to use for learning purpose.  
Is it recommended or there are better way to learn it?

sure, that works totally fine. Obviously you cannot try out some  
aspects (like working with different hosts at once 🙂 ), but for quite  
a few things this works well.

BTW, this is the wrong place to ask such questions (this place is for  
ansible development questions), please use the ansible-project mailing  
list instead in the future:

Thanks.

Best regards,  
Felix
