Installing Linux for the First Time: (A Tutorial for Beginners)
Installing Linux is not a difficult task (nor should it be). In this episode, I will walk you through the process whether you're wanting to install Linux on a Mac or a PC.
NOTE:
If your computer has secure boot enabled, then you’ll want to disable it in order to install Peppermint. I cover secure boot in this episode.
Join me in this tutorial and you'll be up and running with Linux in no time.

As we close out another year, I decided to release one final episode that focuses on my top 3 favorite streaming media players.
Disclaimer: I am not being paid to review any of these devices and the opinions here are not being reviewed by any of these 3 vendors either. I purchased these devices with my own funds.
Looking for Deals?
You can find great deals online and at local retailers right now for all 3 media players (Roku, Amazon Fire TV and the Chromecast with Google TV).
Roku: https://www.roku.com/
Amazon Fire TV: https://www.amazon.com
Chromecast with Google TV: https://store.google.com/us/product/chromecast_google_tv?hl=en-US
All three of these devices are excellent choices. This review will hopefully help you to decide which is the better option for you.

How many of you have an older model computer that's sitting unused and collecting dust?
There is some value in reviving older computers?
--Put it back to good use and improve its performance while you're at it
--Prevents yet another piece of electronics from finding its way into a landfill
--Sell it to someone (make yourself a bit of money)
--Avoid having to buy a new computer (saving you money)
--Donate it to a charity and possibly take a tax write-off
How?
In this episode, I'll show you how I upgraded a 2011 Toshiba laptop in well under a half hour. In addition to the cost-savings, you will be surprised at how much faster it is and how simple it was to upgrade it.
