I am thankful that I have an antique Win XP Laptop and Net Access. Us poor have no choice but to take what is provided. As to why not give a child a Linux machine, well where are they going to get the software that many schools now require they use in a version to run on Linux? Most are either Windows or IOs. I have to provide them a usable tool in today's system as it is now. Not based on what I would prefer to give them. Most underprivileged children have a parent(s) that are minimally educated so will be unable to help them. The Majority of teachers also would not understand Unix in any form. Sure you can give someone a great book to read. But if it is in an unknown language then it is useless to them. The majority of what I have experienced here in my short time is attacks, and belittling instead of actual help. Yes, there are people like me in the world, whether you like it or not. I live in a leaky camper without running water, no transportation, and only FoodStamps to support myself. I need Heart Surgery now. But the State says I am not disabled. I may, just maybe get disability in 3-5 years if I am lucky, and if I live that long. I am just trying to help people like myself the best way I can. I built my first PC in 1982. I also set up my high schools first computer system as a Junior in 1980. I know what I need to do. I asked the original question because I thought since I am also using https everywhere addon and bitdefender for XP that it was this site not using https. Well, I was wrong, so sue me. I am just looking for useful advice and help, so that I can, in turn, help others.
