(Favour) Let me access your Linux box, please?

Hello,

I need to learn egrep quickly. I don't have access to a Linux box.
Is there anywhere online that has a Linux vm you can just play around with, or are there any of you that wouldn't mind letting me have a play, remotely?

Literally, all I need to do is create a file with some text in it and then play around with egrep with that file.

And this sort of thing... http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-use-grep-command-in-linux-unix/
or any other great egrep (trying to learn regex stuff y'see) tutorials with simple examples for a simpleton.

Thanks,

What's a good linux distro?
I'll go with Ubuntu; I'm sure I've used it before

I'm stupid.
I've got it installed, and it's about 640x480 display in the middle of the screen.
I changed stuff as per:

But it's still tiny.
