The teachers are witnessing the wonders of Linux in the schools/high schools computer labs i install/maintain and are asking me to install Linux on their home computers/notebooks.<br />Man, what a glorious feeling!!!Alessandro Ebersolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01548247936938217334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33801994.post-88102965209284091622009-12-22T13:18:14.251-06:002009-12-22T13:18:14.251-06:00Just to follow your tangential thought: Some frie...Just to follow your tangential thought: Some friends of mine new a couple.

I love it when you find these stories.
Wa...helios<br /><br />I love it when you find these stories.<br /><br />Way to go Mark. Just like shooting fish in a barrel. And not just as a figure of speech.<br /><br />I use Mint for all new users to just give Linux a try. The Live CD just works on almost everything, even tough hardware usually works.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this with us.Amenditmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12345522537672251667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33801994.post-5333233678383406912009-12-21T17:20:51.483-06:002009-12-21T17:20:51.483-06:00These are the stories I like to hear.

That said, it wasn't so bad that he couldn't create a Linux Mint 7 Live CD. He popped it in, did the installation, and now almost never uses his Windows partition (which he left on the hard drive). He and another friend of his (who is also having Windows trouble) are installing from that same CD Mint onto a computer that they salvaged from our school's Computer Deconstruction Day.<br />--<br />a Linux Mint user since 2009 May 1PVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204919785416600206noreply@blogger.com
