Downloaded Ubuntu onto a flash drive last week in the hopes that I could boot from such and play around with it. I use to run Ubuntu -The Lucid Lynx, then the Hardy Heron- and decided to try the Trusty Tahr. Booting from the flash became a pain, so I downloaded VirtualBox so I can run numerous OS's inside my current OS. It's fantastic. I can now run Ubuntu and Debian inside windows. I need to reinstall Debian, as it's not functioning right now, but the future looks bright.

Remodeled my room so I have more space to play with my computers. I was able to pull out my Raspberry Pi and boot Raspian -the Debian OS, on her. I am now in the process of editing bash as I enjoy it and otherwise exploring the system as the root user. To note: Raspian is substantially more GUI-ed than the Debian we utilize in The Best Class We've Ever Taken.
