Busy weekend

My work week isn't over. I have five computers/hard drives that I'm working on this weekend. My most exciting task is to setup an older XP HP machine with Ubuntu Linux. My customer had a huge XP problem and couldn't use her restore CD's to get it going. After some discussion of her options, costs, and time involved, she decided to give Ubuntu a try. This customer is retired, but is writing a book, uses a digital camera, is an AOL user, and emails a bunch. However, she loves here computer and has been using one for many years and has no qualms about trying something new.

My task with her computer is to set it up so she can get up and running as quickly as possible. This will be my first big test at taking Ubuntu out of the "lab" and putting into the hands of one of my customers. I think it can work and work well and she is probably a great first candidate to use Ubuntu.

I've already got Ubuntu installed, customized and almost ready to go and it has been a blast getting it ready. Of course I will report back with the actual installation and training session next week.

Almost one computer down...four more to go!
