Time for the next generation

Posted on 9:33 AM by Unknown

My daughter, who is studying computer programming using the Processing language, happened to be home (briefly) over the weekend, and one of her requests was about how she could start learning about Linux.

So off we went to the Ubuntu site, where a quick click on "Run it alongside Windows" took us to the Wubi installer.

Forty five minutes later, she was up and running Linux, poking about, asking questions, and generally online.

Make way, world, here comes the next generation!
