      Is Linux really the best option for a kid's machine?

      Does it run iTunes?

      This is probably best for it's own thread.

        My Dropbox account is 75% full (of 5GB).

        Exceeds the 2GB file limit on ODfB... have to look into that one later.

        Huh? I thought MS upped it to 10 GB per file?

            What do you want the kid's machine to do?

            It has replacements for iTunes, so even better!

              My tween niece moved to Linux and went from annoyed with computers to loving them. Her teen sister (now they are both teens) loved it so much that she wants a Linux machine for Christmas this year.

                  I would gladly help but I don't have anything. I just threw out a bunch of disks, but I think I only had a Vista recovery.

                    That's actually what has been keeping me from moving to iTunes Music si that it only plays through iTunes.

                    Seems like most of the streaming services (other than Amazon, which has 1/30th of the content) have proprietary apps. Just when I was getting into the whole web app thing.

                      We convert all of our ITunes media and use it all over. It's not hard at all to do.

                          I've downloaded an image from @gjacobse and am burning it to disk now (No spare USB sticks around).

                            Did the transfer via ownCloud do the trick?

                                Yes, I downloaded a 2.9 GB file. I haven't tested the file yet other than to burn the ISO to the DVD, but booting will have to wait until later.

                                    There is an apache flag that needs to be set. The ownCloud documentation goes over it.

                                      Alright, the ISO from gjacobse worked.

                                      Currently downloading and installing SP1 and SP2 - this is a RTM disk. many hours of waiting ahead of me.

                                        Glad it worked. It's been a while since I installed Vista,.. could you not skip SP1 and go to SP2?

                                          In theory you are supposed to be able to go directly to SP2.

                                            I always have. I have not restored one in a couple years, but I did it that way last time.
