Comment Yes (mandatory) for me (Score 1) 109

I live in Madrid (Spain). I teach in High School. Regional officials send all the student to home, but teachers could go to schools. When I was in the very first ten minutes of the very first meeting, the school principal ordered everybody go home. We suspect some positive by Covid-19. Now, I'm at home in front of my computer writing teaching content and waiting for questions by e-mail. We dont have any videoconference system in place.

Here you have mine: picture
I. e.: real people older than 80 using a Debian box, I take care of installing and administering, they just have the fun (ssh to the rescue just in case).
They moved from MS Win 98; they have trouble using computers no matter wich OS they use, but be sure that all their hardware is working, the KDE UI is not confusing and they are very autonomous.

Comment i5 Debian Wheezy (Score 1) 326

I have more than ten computers, but my primary workstation currently has an i5 4690K with 8 GB of RAM, one 32 GB SSD for programs and a 2 TB magnetic drive for data.

Operating system is Debian Wheezy (yes, really). KDE desktop.

Browser is Firefox 28 (if my web development runs fine in it, I hope it will run OK on newer versions).

Editor of choice is "Nice Editor", heavily customized. I use every day (every minute, really) Konsole and ssh. gFTP is very important for me too, as graphical ssh client.
