Is Linux really the best option for a kid's machine?
Does it run iTunes?
This is probably best for it's own thread.
Just saying, it's not always awesome for tweens.
My tween niece moved to Linux and went from annoyed with computers to loving them. Her teen sister (now they are both teens) loved it so much that she wants a Linux machine for Christmas this year.
Give her Gentoo

I would gladly help but I don't have anything. I just threw out a bunch of disks, but I think I only had a Vista recovery.

What do you want the kid's machine to do?
It has replacements for iTunes, so even better!
That's actually what has been keeping me from moving to iTunes Music si that it only plays through iTunes.
Seems like most of the streaming services (other than Amazon, which has 1/30th of the content) have proprietary apps. Just when I was getting into the whole web app thing.

We convert all of our ITunes media and use it all over. It's not hard at all to do.

That is what I need to work on.

I've downloaded an image from @gjacobse and am burning it to disk now (No spare USB sticks around).

Did the transfer via ownCloud do the trick?

Speaking of this, I need to troubleshoot why I cannot download a file > 1gb via HTTP shared link on my personal ownCloud server...

Yes, I downloaded a 2.9 GB file. I haven't tested the file yet other than to burn the ISO to the DVD, but booting will have to wait until later.

ownCloud for the win, again!

There is an apache flag that needs to be set. The ownCloud documentation goes over it.

Alright, the ISO from gjacobse worked.
Currently downloading and installing SP1 and SP2 - this is a RTM disk. many hours of waiting ahead of me.

Glad it worked. It's been a while since I installed Vista,.. could you not skip SP1 and go to SP2?
-
In theory you are supposed to be able to go directly to SP2.

I always have. I have not restored one in a couple years, but I did it that way last time.

Yes, you can. No need to install a previous service pack. The most recent is sufficient. You could do that on NT4.

Not quite. You could do it to a point but to get to the final release of SP6a you had to install SP4, then the Release Pack, then SP6a. Took three updates to get to the last one. But you did not need SP1, 2 or 3 to do it. And SP5 was not needed.
-
With Vista I thought you Had to install SP1 first because of the major changes from RTM to SP1?
I'll have to confirm that tomorrow.
-
I was pretty sure.

Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) is a prerequisite for installing SP2 in Windows Vista. If you use Windows Update or the Automatic Update feature in Windows Vista, you will not be offered the option to install SP2 until you first install SP1.

Okay, that's weird and goes explicitly against MS' stated naming convention. They stated that the term SP used meant that it included the early SPs.
