Crouton is pretty nice, and I experimented with that approach as well. A big reason we chose dual-boot is to give kids a playground in which they can really explore their laptops. I fondly remember the joy of installing every operating system I could get my hands on, and a full, independent install of Ubuntu demonstrates that this is possible. Thanks for the tip on XDK, I'll give that a look!
- bachmeier 12y agoOne other thing that I've learned the hard way with Crouton is that it's too easy for kids to delete the Ubuntu partition. It's doubly true when several kids use it.
- e12e 12y agoI have fond memories of when we got our Amiga 2000. Must have been around 1986 or so (which would've made me 7 years old). My oldest brother spent half a day installing the OS onto the gigantic 40 MB scsi hard drive. When he was finally done, I spent about half an hour managing to bork the entire system, so he had to do a full reinstall... good times. Still remember he told me that "it shouldn't have been possible to do that." -- by witch he meant that while it wasn't much of a surprise that'd I'd mucked up the install -- it shouldn't have been possible to do it the way I did. Still don't remember what I did, just that it involved a lot of dragging and clicking. I doubt I'd be able to do the same thing today ;-)
