Laptop From School

"Hey, what are you doing with thoses laptops?" I asked Simon who was screwing around with 3 ancient laptops that used to be sitting on a counter away from the reach of  us students. "I asked Mr. Joe if I could take them home and he said yes." What are you going to do with them?" I asked. " I'm going to put Ubuntu on them." "Can I have the Lenevo?" "Yeah, but you have to bring it back." "So I just take it home and bring it back with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS installed on it?" "Yes" Very well than."

Hackintosh Update

As you may know from my past posts. I recently succeded in installing Os x Mavericks on a PC of mine. There were two problems. One, it was really slow. Running Apple's latest and greatest operating system took more than a dual-core processor clocked at 2.00ghz from 2008 and 1 gb of DDR2 800mhz ram. Two, the graphics sucked. Interagated graphics don't always work good. But, my dad's PC, if you considered all the specs. Was about three times as powerful.
So why don't I just install it on my dad's PC? He doesn't want me to screw around with his precious Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin.
I eventually realized I could install Os x to a external hard drive. So I did. It worked and I'm typing this post on that same computer.

Dear, .                                                                                                                                        

As you may know. The majority of computers under Birmingham public schools possession run on Windows XP. Windows XP may have been new when the computers were manufactured, but is far outdated now. Windows XP can't handle software thats was made 14 years  after Windows XP. The result are slow computers.

On April, 8, 2014, Microsoft will not offer support for most versions of Windows XP (including the version Birmingham public schools uses) anymore. The computers are going to be updated to Windows 7 Enterprise. Although an improvement, it is not a permanent fix for the problem. If the computers can't handle Windows XP, how could they possibly deal with Windows 7 Enterprise? There is no reason for the computers to be running Windows. There are many other operating systems that not only virtually virus-free. But also free-of-cost.

In fact, there is one operating system that is not only almost entirely virus-free, free-of-charge, and designed to speed up school computers. It's an education oriented operating system!

The name? Edubuntu. An Ubuntu derivative. It runs on a Linux kernel and comes with all the good features I previously explained.

I'm tired of hearing students as well myself complain about school computers.

To speed up all the school computers, on April, 8, 2014. instead of updating to Windows 7 Enterprise. Make a good decision to switch to Edubuntu. Trust me, you won't be sorry.

Kali Linux

Today I was informed of a linux distro called Kali. Kali linux is the succesor to Backtrack linux and just like Backtrack, Kali was developed for mainly security penetration. But what is unique about Kali linux is that it comes in an ARM compatible image. Witch means. Theoreticly. I could install it on my Samsung ARM chromebook. I will try to install on an 8gb sd card so I can dual-boot that and Chromium OS. Hopefully it works.
