Sarah has finally had it with her XP install running sluggishly and agreed to let me install Linux. I've opted for Ubuntu and it seems to be running well. I'm going to secretly install XP via virtualbox (if she needs it) but I won't tell her until she fights a little with actually learning how to do some things.
At any rate... the computer is already connected wirelessly. I've changed the look of the computer (sistine chapel background, anybody) as well as the color scheme to make it more familiar. I put the computer, folder, and recycle bin on the desktop as icons for familiarities sake. I hope that it "feels" right to her.
Also, her CD/DVD drive is dying, yes: dying. So, I'll be ripping an .iso of a workout dvd she used so that she can watch it via the harddrive rather than from the disk drive itself (which frequently just gives out).
Almost done with the install and the messing about with the system to make sure its working. All that's left is to put her files on the computer. Easy enough.
Is it a bad thing that this is *fun* for me?
