Re: [nlug] does anyone on this list not use Windows at all?

Michael, I haven't gone through the steps, but this looks like it could be a starting point depending on which version of Windows they are using - http://www.pcworld.com/article/2028896/how-to-make-ubuntu-linux-look-like-windows-7.html Some thoughts on potential blockers - do they use iTunes at

But it's also possible to install "real" Linux on a Chrome book. Which yields a very cheap laptop. On Sat, Mar 26, 2016 at 9:37 AM, Jacob Margason wrote: > In my opinion, if it runs the linux kernel then it's linux. > On Mar 25, 2016 4:06 PM, "Will Drewry"

In my opinion, if it runs the linux kernel then it's linux. On Mar 25, 2016 4:06 PM, "Will Drewry" wrote: > Do chromebooks pass muster as a Linux based solution? They may fit the > bill. > > (I pretty much only use chrome os and Ubuntu all day long.) > > On Friday, March

Re: [nlug] does anyone on this list not use Windows at all?

It’s hard to be in a “Just One Operating System" environment these days. I mainly use Linux as my day to day OS but I do run Windows and Apple in a virtual environment when troubleshooting issues for clients. Floyd Mullins On Fri, Mar 25, 2016 at 7:05 PM, Perkins, Jerry

Re: [nlug] does anyone on this list not use Windows at all?

All you have to do is ask them how much time they spend fixing the computer. If they are surfing the web they are likely wasting a lot of time fixing something that should not be broke. If those running Windows ever looked at access logs of others hitting their system they would likely be

Re: [nlug] does anyone on this list not use Windows at all?

I do mainly Linux. Dual boot my laptop with WIN10 (I hate to waste a paid for license). I use windows mainly in support of others that won't move to Linux (wife uses Win for work, they are a win only shop, I support several 'little old ladies/men' from church, they don't need the re-education

Re: [nlug] does anyone on this list not use Windows at all?

Hello Michael, It is very rare that I use Windows for myself. I do have to support it, but I have not had a reason to use it at the house or away for many months now. I do have Windows 7. It came on one of the drives on my laptop. It has likely been 6 months since it was booted. Dave On

Do chromebooks pass muster as a Linux based solution? They may fit the bill. (I pretty much only use chrome os and Ubuntu all day long.) On Friday, March 25, 2016, Michael L wrote: > One (older) Windows user surfs the web and answers emails; the other just > surfs

Re: [nlug] does anyone on this list not use Windows at all?

One (older) Windows user surfs the web and answers emails; the other just surfs the web.- Nothing else. Neither user has the time to learn anything else, the web/email user has neither time nor interest; no new tricks for an old dog. M On Fri, Mar 25, 2016 at 12:45 PM, Wesley Duffee-Braun

Re: [nlug] does anyone on this list not use Windows at all?

One reason I ask is because I have a co-worker whose time gets wasted by supporting (two older) Windows users. If I can show him a very low maintenance Linux (maybe Mint 17) system that saves lots of trouble, I think he'd like that idea. M On Fri, Mar 25, 2016 at 10:41 AM, Tilghman Lesher

All of my laptops and even my tablet (!!!) are dual boot. Usually some Ubuntu flavor + Windows. Sometimes triple boot. On Fri, Mar 25, 2016 at 9:02 AM, Chris McQuistion wrote: > I use Windows, Mac OS and Linux, every day. I still use Windows for my > primary work

I use Windows, Mac OS and Linux, every day. I still use Windows for my primary work desktop OS, but I have a Macbook Pro at work and another at home. Most of our important servers at work run on Linux, as does one of my servers at home. Different OS' are good for different reasons. I don't

Re: [nlug] does anyone on this list not use Windows at all?

My primary desktop is Linux, as is my router, Nagios server, and several other servers. However, I also have a smattering of other machines, with Mac and Windows, which I use primarily for testing, since I need to support those platforms, and I have a few applications that won't run under Wine
