Comment Windows - Ubuntu - Linux (Score 3, Interesting) 413

For my 13th birthday I got a laptop and decided to try out Ubuntu on a virtual machine. I liked it, so I dual booted it with Windows 7. When I was 14, I replaced Ubuntu with Debian and got rid of the Windows partition. I'm now 15 years old and still happily using Debian. I didn't like libreoffice so I now write my assignments in Latex whenever possible. I still use Windows at school but most applications are cross-platform.

Comment Highschool students put up with this too (Score 1) 633

Last year our school gave us laptops with Windows 7 (you may have read about them http://news.slashdot.org/story/09/09/27/0252235/au-government-to-build-unhackable-netbooks). Well needless to say, pretty much everybody got administrator access on the laptops within the first couple months of having them. Most of us got a three day suspension and our laptops wiped. Some were lucky bastards and either didn't get caught or managed to bullshit their way out of it.
