Hacking school computers, Noughmad style

  1. Gather some friends (3-4 should be optimal, but this is optional).
  2. Download and burn an Edubuntu LiveCD.
  3. If the school computer is very old, also make a bootfloppy (not the Windows one, but one calleed SmartBoot or something). The LiveCD has instructions for that, don’t worry.
  4. Put the Edubuntu LiveCD into the tray and reboot the computer. You don’t have to be logged in to do that.
  5. Get the computer to boot from CD. You might have problem with that, but they can be resolved by entering BIOS (pressing DEL or F2), changing boot preferences (usually F8) or using the bootfloppy.
  6. Get into the desktop, and run Applications => Games => TuxMath.
  7. Play it, and compete with your friends.
  8. Laugh.
  9. If someone says this game is stupid, challenge him/her.
  10. Enjoy the respect you and Linux just got.
Stumble it!
