IT 566 Conquered

I must say that this has been one of the most enjoyable classes I have taken. I feel like a full fledged nerd now. For my final project I made a kid friendly laptop. I took 10+ year old laptop and made it kid friendly and functional. I had gotten to the point that it was worthless but after reading several sources about Xubuntu I decided a new OS may give it new life.

It did. Now I have a very well working laptop for my kids. I made it as kid friendly as possible complete with big Icons and a full suite of Educational Software from the Ubuntu Software Center.

Here is a screenshot.

The kids love it.
