[Cialug] Linux on locked machines

[Andrew Denner]

You won't be the only one, I have an old netbook that I usually drag along
and it is still running XP.  (I sometimes use it to watch netflix and
really don't care what it is running as long as I can bring up a SSH
connection)

I would second the bit about not wanting to mess with a work laptop without
specific blessing.
