Faribault Computers

I have made a couple dozen kits to simplify the process of trying out different Linux distros (operating systems).

All the work of creating a bootable USB stick is done, so you can just plug it in and play. I made a set of simplified instructions as well.

There are 4 different distros available:

Ubuntu - One of the most popular versions of Linux.
Mint - Another very popular OS.
TAILS - A privacy focused OS. (Very cool)
Kali Linux - An OS made for hackers.

If you want one let us know. The price is $20 to cover the cost of the USB drive, but my goal here is not to make money. My goal is to increase awareness of open source software and to reduce E-waste by introducing you to free alternatives to Windows.

This is a picture of downtown Faribault that I took in May 2017. It's too bad we have already lost one of these old buildings due to neglect, and might be losing more soon.

For those of you that use Linux, what is your favorite version or "distro"?

Mine is Ubuntu, but I plan on trying out some new distros soon. The best part is that they are free, and way more powerful than Windows!

If you are interested in trying out Linux on an old computer or even your main computer let me know and I can help you install it.

10 of the Most Popular Linux Distributions Compared Linux isn’t a complete operating system — it’s just a kernel. Linux distributions take the Linux kernel and combine it with other free software to create complete packages. There are many different Linux distributions out there.

Everything You Need To Know About the Blue Screen of Death The blue screen of death—or BSOD—is always an unwelcome sight. BSODs appear when Microsoft Windows encounters a critical error from which it can’t recover, usually the result of low-level software (or drivers) crashing or faulty hardware.

Linux operating systems are awesome. We use Linux on some of our personal computers and for customers that want to avoid paying for a Microsoft Windows licence.

It is especially useful for older computers that need an operating system yet you do not want to invest a lot of money into.

A customer had an older Apple Imac that would no longer turn on. They had important data on the hard drive like family pictures and documents that they could no longer access.

We extracted the hard drive, converted the HFS+ file system to something the customer could access with his Windows laptop, then transferred the data to a USB external hard drive that he could plug into his laptop. He is very happy to have his data back.
