On the evening of June 23, June 19, I entered an Internet cafe in Fuzhou, a large scale. Because Internet cafes adopt the "swipe card billing system", I am not allowed to enter, and I am "honed" in front of the service desk, requesting to enter. As a result, the service desk lady was "enable" to access the video. In Internet cafes, smoke is everywhere (because many smokers exist), which makes people almost suffocate. I found that about 3/4 of people are playing games, 1/4 are surfing the Internet, or QQ. Since I don't need XP on weekdays (I have been permanently deleted early), I think it is ugly to see XP. In most games, it is too easy to kill a person. I think players who are addicted to this kind of game may not blink in the eye if they are addicted to killing a real person.

Later, I went back to the internet cafe service desk and requested to see the Internet administrator of the Internet cafe. Because Internet cafe agent computers are all placed in a box, and the front is blocked by a wire mesh door, and a large lock is added, CD/DVD and USB are definitely not usable. I explained my intention to the network manager. He put the self-starting U disk I handed to him and inserted it into a small grid of steel wire mesh into the USB port of the computer. I told him to restart the computer and change the BIOS boot sequence. At first, he was puzzled. As a result, he did what I said. The computer was "ignited" in about 40 seconds (started), and the theme page of Ubuntu 10.04 was highlighted. If a person sees this extremely beautiful screen for the first time, his mind will be shocked.

I can conclude that this network manager was the first to see Ubuntu 10.04 desktop (at least this kind of self-built system ). I noticed that he first wanted to click the "W" function button (Word Processing Program). At first, I was puzzled. Later, I understood the reason (no Microsoft Office suite is authorized for the Internet cafe landline ). Ubuntu can automatically find the exit for accessing the Internet and ask him for the "password" for accessing the Internet ". He began to wonder how this guy would recognize the hardware configuration of this computer? At the moment, the Internet cafe owner just came over and talked to the Network Manager (explaining the matter). By the way, he certainly didn't know what happened here.

The Internet manager of the Internet Cafe began to be interested in this U disk. Could I copy one? I told him that, in general, this item cannot be physically copied, and he promised to have a chance to send it to him in the future. Later, I told him the principle that Internet cafes should "partition", and explained to him that Linux games were too popular, but XP was not.

Some people do not understand the Live USB mode and are in conflict with their ideas. Eric Geier published an article entitled "Linux-based Live CD/DVD and USB Distros for all occasions" on October 18, June 21, demonstrating the multiple important uses and practical value of Live USB, we recommend that you read this article.

Note 1: during my stay in Fuzhou, I met a young friend who recently purchased an HP laptop (memory 2 GB, 7,000 yuan) and Windows 7 operating system, there is also a genuine Office 2010 latest Office suite. I asked him to compare Ubuntu 10.04 with Win 7 to see how they feel? What is the difference? What I didn't think was that it took only 20 seconds to start a U disk. The speed of opening OpenOffice.org 3.2 was almost the same as that of Opening Office 2010. The general feeling is that Unbutu is agile and easy to use. Therefore, I am very happy.

NOTE 2: return to Beijing yesterday evening, fly to Dalian at noon today, and return to Beijing on the 24 th. Goodbye.
