Guest or thier own account

On: Keeping a PC Personal At School?

Whenever anyone I know asks to borrow my laptop if I'm not currently using it I log them on as a guest or if they are my friend or a potential friend I make them an account of their own. I find people usually consider having an account made for them a friendly gesture. I also tend to set the laptop on a flat solid surface for the borrower and I ask them not to move it. I am surprised how many unfriendly answers have been given to this question. :(

Odd place to ask but look at Arch or Vector those distros are pretty, lightweight, and modern. http://www.archlinux.org/ http://vectorlinux.com/ And in my experience a fresh carefully done fresh XP install will feel pretty quick. But once I have used it for a bit it always slows down.

We are a product of our time. Were this even two hundred years ago you very likely wouldn't object to slavery. A hundred years hence and your progeny will probably think you were barbaric for your beliefs. And the products you purchased at such low prices.
