I really think you should Lubuntu or ChaletOS, would likely run way more smoothly compared to Vista....
I can even show you ChaletOS if you need (better hurry though) headed home for the day soon.
Thanks, but it's not for me, it's for a friend (heck it's for his kid). I have no desire to support them on a new platform.. I'm being nice enough just trying to reinstall the OS.
Luckily I don't have to worry about any data.

ChaletOS looks almost identical to Windows.
Albeit if he wants to install something, you'd be the person with a phone call...
Fair Enough..

Found it.

Let me see about piping a ISO and let you know.

I've got all of those in some dark corner of my repo.
But of all things, I actually didn't have a Microsoft Vista ISO. Need a Win7/8/8.1 disk? How about XP/2000, even god forbid ME? Got ya covered.

ISO built... putting it online now. Will update when it is complete and ready for d/l

If you want, I have ISOs of some of the older ones.:-)

My Dropbox account is 75% full (of 5GB).
Exceeds the 2GB file limit on ODfB... have to look into that one later.
So - it's currently uploading to OwnCloud - Estimated 8 hours - It's a 2.87GB file.

Can I share a link in my OneDrive account and have you upload it there?

Is Linux really the best option for a kid's machine?
Does it run iTunes?

This is probably best for it's own thread.

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

Just saying, it's not always awesome for tweens.

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.

Give her Gentoo

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.
