Today it was less crowded than the previous week. This made it possible for each of us to work on a single station. I faced some new problems working on my machine but was able to surpass them.
One thing to note is that Planet Geek only deploys Ubuntu operating system on all their machines as it relieves them from licensing issues and cuts down their cost. After deploying Ubuntu on the machine I was working on today, I had to skin the interface to make it look like Microsoft Windows XP. I thought this was interesting as it demonstrated that to most people the computing experience is restricted to Windows, and mostly Windows XP. Jon informed me that it provides the users with a sense of comfort and assurance when using their computers, as Ubuntu may be intimidating and unfamiliar to new users. Again, I learned something new today.
