Picked up a copy of Ubuntu 64bit ($3) to try out on my 7 yr old hand-me-down desktop. No W10 for me thanks. Vista Ultimate was not?

Linux is cool and a great way to use old hardware.

But most people don’t know how to re-IPL using ISO images so it (LINUX) will stay in the realm of geekdom.

I had to use many different ISOs until I found one that took.

Been running Ubuntu for YEARS, way better,faster,and everything WORKS ALWAYS! If I could get Quickbooks to work in Linux I would have no machines with WinBlows on it. I know it works in Virtual Box but that is still running windows, even if it is inside Linux
