  • If it’s your os drive that dies, nothing important has been lost except for a few minutes of work. You can boot from a variety of media (cd, usb…) for recovery, or drive replacement. Worst case, you’ll have to reinstall a few things in the following days.

    It’s also why it’s not a bad idea to separate the various aspects of the system on distinct drives.
















  • A lot of people (regardless of age) have a very fuzzy idea (if at all) of what a file or a directory is. They wouldn’t know a operating system if it sat on their face.

    The only way to get them to use Linux is to switch the system on their computers. And they’ll probably manage just fine(after a bit of initial grumpiness), since most interfaces are pretty much the same anyway.

    But they’re never going to change on their own.
