+On the Linux machine, download the Docker image and then import it. Some useful Docker commands:
 <code bash>
 docker import cEOS-lab-4.34.3.1M.tar.xz ceos:4.34.3.1M
 docker images # should be visible here
+docker ps     # show all running containers
+docker ps -a  # show all containers, including stopped ones. Docker keeps its filesystem, metadata and
+              # reference to the image until you explicitly remove it
+docker rm <container_id>  # removes the container
+docker rmi <image_id>     # removes the image
