Perfect OS for a n00b.?

Posted on April 13, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

My mother is in the stone age. She needs a computer bad, as she uses snail-mail for everything.

I’m really not sure of her computing abilities, but I’m smart enough to know that someone giving another a computer becomes their tech support.

I’m giving her a PC, not Mac, that is…guessing since I didn’t open it yet, a 700, or 800 MHz machine with 256MB Ram, and a 10GB hard drive or so, if I can find it.

I’m thinking a Linux flavor like Knoppix, or Ubuntu. Something that is virus proof. Hackable…she has nothing valuable, and I may have it set as a live CD machine anyway.

Ideas, comments??

Posted on July 22, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

it does not come from the tower and i only hear it when i am running windows neither the mandriva or the ubuntu versions of linux i run off of live cds make this noise, the noise is hard too explain but it got there after i let a so called expert get ahold of it and found my mother board lying on the floor,my ram was missing, in his computer but i got it back together, i’ve ran both Avg and Avira anti viruses as well as malwarebytes anti malware but nothing is being found
and by the way i am not running avira and avg at the same time i got tired of avg not finding anything so i switched to avast and then too avira
ok a bit more info sorry i forgot this it’s like a wierd beeping noise coming from my speakers
