TB143 - Introduction to Personal Computers

So today we go over user accounts and security. Soon I shall be a master of high security pc systems. We also had a lab where we installed Ubuntu on someone's computer. I've been meaning to do so on my laptop but haven't had time. Now that I did I managed to install, formatting my entire hdd instead of using the vista partition I wanted. How frustrating, now I must install windows 7 again, very frustrating.
