Well, today was the day. It was time to start grading my students on Ubuntu today. Today I focused on two categories: Ubuntu Installation and LAMP. Luckily for me, about 90 percent of my 11th and 12th Graders had Ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10 installed on their netbooks or laptops with two running Ubuntu on the Macbooks.
