Glad I spoke up. He is an assistant professor and I have been transferred into another class. No idea what will happen to him after this but the professor I have been transferred to is good so far. Will see how it goes as the class progresses. J

Yes, I wanted to know the why and how behind the commands on the CompTIA A+ exam. I also was questioning how accurate is this in real world application instead of teaching the test. I’m one of those students…..most hate me for that. That’s why I tend to just keep to myself and look it up or ask...

Ordered one! Getting it in 3 days. I’ll pop that bad boy open and get started. J

Thank you! That makes total sense! I had asked the teacher but he dismissed me as usual. I’m just now looking up commands and the reasons behind the commands now. At least I only have to deal with this teacher for another 3 weeks. He doesn’t believe women should be in tech. Snorts laughing. If...

I may be overthinking this. I am currently in hardware tech class for computer science at college. This one question is throwing me off. I am going to attach the photo of it. I already answered according to the A+ book but why is it not Yum install httpd -dep?????? J.

I was able to boot to the USB. Everything looked decent. Went to install it fully while wiping windows and got the blue screen. Took it apart and figured out that the hard drive just gave up the ghost. Now, I have to figure out if it’s worth it to even replace the hard drive or just let it go.

I just ran all the scans and for now it did not need to be upgraded. I had to go into the specs of it to make sure it was fine. My friend tried to install windows 11 pro on a laptop that could not support it and nearly bricked it already. This is going to be a last ditch attempt to save the...

I think it might have that. But, can I put this on a flash drive and install from the drive? We do not have wired internet. I will look into that. Thank you.

Thank you so much! I could really hug you right now. I’ve booted the @#$@#!$#@$ thing 6 times and windows 11 keeps glitching so badly that I had to shut it down. I will do that to find out the hard drive specs! I’m following that tutorial of yours tomorrow after doctors for my kiddos. We think...

LOL! I was looking at the pro of it and thought….ummm maybe not right now! I’m researching how to do the bootable USB drive now from the experts on the forums here. I just need a Linux machine to use for college, Python and CLI etc. I nearly threw the laptop through the bay window of my...

Found the specs. It’s a Dell Inspiron 15-3555 laptop. I’m in the process of cleaning it up physically. And, looking up the drivers and compatibility with which Ubuntu distro. Here are the specs: AMD-A6-6310 APU with AMD Radeon R$ graphics 1.80Ghz. 4 GB RAM, 64 bit OS and x64 based processor...

A friend of mine gave me his old laptop. I am currently looking up the bios firmware and getting it ready to wipe windows off of it to install Ubuntu. I want to turn this into my everyday laptop. I did order a new keyboard and replaced that. Have replaced the battery too. Once I figure out...

My grandpa was a crusty old man from Mackan, Ireland. Always said, “be able to sign your name to your work. It’s the strength to take accountability that others fail in. Don’t do that. Even if all you are doing is sweeping floors.”

I had my A+ and was earning my Net+ in 2003 and had a geek squad job. Back then I could still use hearing aids. This middle aged customer came in with a really dirty desktop. Was willing to pay for the cleaning of it. As his computer was slowing down. I asked all the questions but noticed he...
