In mu experience, the only family of operating systems tying its
installation so tightly to the current hardware, is Windows. Most unices
autodetect hardware on bootup and should work well even if installed on a 10
year old Pentium.

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det
er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av
idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate
og relevante synonymer på norsk.
