“Can I play Texas hold ‘em poker on this computer?” a brave young man asked me early this morning.
I passed the buck and told him to ask my administrator first. I could hear Mrs. Pauline sharply admonish him that the computers were for improving literacy skills only. I smiled. At least, he had the courage to ask. I would have never gotten that far.
I spent most of the morning installing Linux Ubuntu on two of the very oldest and most ancient of our computers. It installed and those computers are just almost like new again – very snappy. I have been seriously contemplating installing Ubuntu on my home computer again, also. I just can’t live without Windows Live Writer for writing my blog. That is what is holding me back.

I've been considering putting Ubuntu on one of my two systems but don't know enough about it to know what the drawbacks might be. I've love more info abt what would I NOT be able to do.
Heh, I used to play text-based MUDs on the University of MN computers in my teens.
