I was told I never answered the Journal part of my OS experience, which is now on my page on the Wiki, but let me make reference to it here, as well. I spoke to the person who introduced my husband to Puppy Linux, to find out what he thinks about it and why he likes it so much. He likes the speed at which it works. He also likes the drivers available for graphics. I never did ask why graphics are so important to him.
I watched Pirates . . , and found Jobs character to be a bit over the edge. Gates seemed to be a scheming puppy dog, but the computer information was interesting. Now the question is: How much of is true and how much was created for the dramatic effect?
I have installed and operated a few different OS types, not the least of which was Windows XP as a parallel OS on my personal Mac Top.
I have also used Puppy Linux on my husband's laptop and Ubuntu on his at home computer. The first time I used Ubuntu was quite by accident. He has the OS choice at the very beginning of the boot up - but if you don't make a choice, Ubuntu is the default (probably because it is password protected). I didn't know this, got confused at the sign in screen but entered a known password that worked, and started using it. Some things are different, but nothing that can't be figured out. The only thing I couldn't figure out is how to quit the program (Little red ball at upper RIGHT of screen). That was how my husband found out I had used his computer. (LOL)

Are you saying that you were told that you didn't respond to the OS Activities or you actually didn't respond? Are you implying that you did and I missed it? Which is possible or are you saying that you missed it?
That being said... Good job on the OS Activities. It is nice to have someone who has experience with an operating system other than the big two to share with the class.
I also wonder how much of the Pirates movie is truth or embellishment.
