I'll start this off: I have a computer running Windows XP, a computer running Ubuntu 11.04 (Linux distro) and a computer with a dual-boot system running both XP-64 and Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit. I need to re-install Ubuntu though, because that was my first dual-boot, and the partition sizes were off. |

I'm no good with computers or anything, but I still have seven. I have a Dell desktop thing, not sure of what... well.. anything about it. Except it runs Vista. I have a Compaq desktop from circa 2005, and it runs XP. I have a Compaq laptop from circa 2007, and it runs Vista. I have two identical acer laptops, that I picked up from my sister and her boyfriend in about 2009, and they both run Vista. I have two Macbooks, both running OS X 10.6.7. |

I suggest installing Linux on one of the laptops to try it out. You can download an installer and boot to a USB stick, and install Ubuntu around the existing OS for a dual-boot. Or, you can wipe it entirely and go completely to the dark side. I like Ubuntu for everything except gaming, really. |

I, fairly recently, had to drag most of the computers in the house to the shop in ones and twos (everybody's was down for one reason or another, or at least ailing) - one thing I did have done was to put them all on Windows 7. This did not make me universally popular, (although the upgrades many of them got at the same time helped with that) but tech support for the kids is a hell of a lot easier now that everyone is running the same thing. |
