The files within the ova can be extracted with tar or 7zip (I used the 7z command line version). The ova file is simply a compressed file containing other files. Instead of adding Remnux to my nearly full laptop hard drive (too many other VM's taking up space), I decided to run it from my Proxmox server instead. For those unfamiliar (if any such person exists), Remnux is a distro dedicated to malware analysis and comes with tons of malware analysis tools. The course makes use of the great Remnux Linux virtual machine by Lenny Zeltser. Today, I started the Performing Malware Analysis on Malicious Documents course by Tyler Hudak on Pluralsight. I also have one Windows virtual machine on there, but rarely use it. One is a Minecraft server for the grandkids and friends (and maybe me too) while the other is a simple file server. I've been running two different Ubuntu server VM's on it since then. While the computer I installed it on is ancient (AMD Phenom X4 965 with 8GB RAM), it still seems to run pretty well. There are several to pick from, but just for the sake of learning something new I set up a Proxmox Virtual Environment. I decided to set up a VM server a while back. One of techy things I really enjoy is working with virtual machines.
