Today we talked about the registry (regedit.exe) within Windows. The registry is where settings are saved in a huge database that Windows and other programs can call up at any point to access settings, file locations, etc.
Along with that, later in class we also talked about Dual booting Windows and Linux. Corey and I partnered for this because we both have previously done this. We worked on triple booting one of the Dell Optiplexs that we named Linus (after a YouTuber named Linus Sebastian [http://youtube.com/user/LinusTechTips, http://twitter.com/LinusTech]). We made him triple boot Windows 7, Lubuntu 13.04, and Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
For installing Mac you should follow the tutorials on YouTube, for installing Lubuntu (you should have Windows 7/Vista/XP installed first as it likes being the first and only installed, especially Vista) you put the disc into the Disc Drive, boot from it, partition your hard drive for a swap partition and a data partition for Lubuntu (MAKE SURE THE DATA PARTITION IS SET TO / [if you don't know what you are doing that is] otherwise it will not install and just keep bringing up error messages on the installer) and click next, fill in the information it asks, and it will install, reboot and it will allow you to boot either into Windows or Lubuntu using Grub2 bootloader.
