Watchguard security video's & how-to's  "Improve your security IQ"	Make it fly again with lightweight Linux If you’re shelfing your trusty road warrior mostly because it just runs … so … slow, consider that it’s not always the laptop’s fault. Most modern operating systems aren’t designed to give you only the web, email, document handling, and a little multimedia, but there is an entire OS realm that is that can make your old system seem new again. Here are a few free, open-source recommendations and what an old laptop might get out of them: Puppy Linux: Very slim (97 MB) distribution, but retains a basically smooth and polished interface, with apps to cover common computer uses. Damn Small Linux: For really, really fast and light performance with a straight-up interface. A system smaller than 50 MB that can run on a machine with a minimum of 16 MB memory (assuming you can boot/load it on there). Xubuntu: Puts the Ubuntu methodology and software support into a lighter, XFCE-based desktop (check out its look and newest features here). For an even lighter kind of “Damn Small Ubuntu,” try Fluxbuntu. gOS: For those who live inside their browser, gOS isn’t so much a gimmicky “Wal-Mart OS” as a webapp-focused version of Ubuntu, with a lightweight window manager (Enlightenment) and an OS X-like bottom dock containing most of what you need

Chapter 5  key ideas:

1. Explain the purpose of an operating system
2. Describe and compare operating systems to include purpose, limitations, and compatibilities
3. What steps do you mentally take to determine the operating system based on customer needs
4. How do you install an operating system
5. What is special about navigating a GUI
6.  Identify and apply common preventive maintenance techniques for operating systems
7.  What are some common ways to troubleshoot operating systems

critical concepts:

1. Almost all modern operating systems are multi-user, multitasking, multiprocessing, and support multithreading.
2. The application requirements may exceed the requirements of the operating system. For the application to function properly, it will be necessary to satisfy any additional requirements.
3. A user must register Windows XP after installation. The user must also complete the verification to ensure that he/she is using a legal copy of the software. This will enable the user to download patches and service packs.
4. Students must know the booting sequence of Windows XP. Once they understand Windows XP boot process, Windows 2000 will be easy to follow.
5. Regedit is a power tool that you should use with great care. Using Regedit incorrectly may cause configuration problems that could require you to reinstall the operating system.
6. Students must know how to install and uninstall applications using Add or Remove Programs utility in Control Panel. The benefit of using the Control Panel is the utility tracks installation files so that the application can be uninstalled thoroughly in the future.
7. The restore point utility only operates on OS and application files. This is important because it means that any data saved between the last restore point and present will be kept.
