   Feeling accomplished. Just today, I was able to get #Linux laptops to three people.
   
   One was the monthly giveaway winner. He chose Linux over Windows on an HP ProBook 450 G3.
   
   The second was a Toshiba 17 inch laptop with a failed hard drive and Windows installation. She decided to try Linux with an SSD on that machine.
   
   Third was a service call to a friend who had been binge researching privacy related topics. Wanted to get Microsoft off her laptop and asked me to remove Windows and install Linux. I asked all the questions to make sure Linux would be a good fit for her. It was. Did the installation while I was there.
   
   Three in one day isn't bad.

     @matthew - I got an used Lenovo Thinkpad. That I want to do the same, get off Windows and make it a Linux. How should I start?
