Getting Chromebooks ready for tomorrow. Rolling over peoples 401k's and they don't even own a computer. <smh>
Why do they need a computer now? There isn't a form they can fill out and have some keyboard monkey enter the changes?
Keyboard monkeys cost more then chromebooks.
Sure, but now HR will have to sit with those who don't own a computer and help them figure out how to use it to enter the data. So you're spending time/money there either way.
Probably not as much as you'd think. We do a similar thing here. They have one HR employee to babysit 10-15 computers during these events.

Setting up a Debian desktop to use as a network boot terminal server client.

Just finished up Liesl's birthday party.

This is HR's shindig. We're just following orders. They want the people to enter their own information. Especially for potentially 400 people.
Probably best. Even if they don't know how to use computers, it is them, not someone who doesn't know, verifying that it was typed in correctly.

So tired, I'm already ready for bed.

Working on the father in law's laptop. He's been having issues (it's Windows, duh) so doing a SMART test right now.

SMART test
Seeing how well Fedora runs on it?

I might do that for testing as Windows reports nothing wrong till the machines starts smoking.

Even then Windows might think you've just over clocked

The disk utility that comes with Fedora Workstation has a decent smart data & self-tests.

SMART data will be the same. The OS doesn't interpret anything. It just reports.

Windows doesn't report it as readily during install.
Fedora however, says that the disk is toast during install and recommends not installing on that disk.

Correct, it's an existing install that's been running for 1-2 years already.
