Man that's cool and you save yourself buying windows licenses.

I'll have to check that out no-ip, so you install openssh server to SSH int their computers? Yeah I like that feature myself too lazy to get up and use the dev desktop.

That's my hope regarding Linux that it's safe, using virtual box and Linux.

Haven't heard of Sugar notebooks.

Yeah I used to run Linux Mint, then Debian, then Ubuntu mostly because of their good driver support, a few times I've had laptops with Debian installed and they couldn't connect to WiFi right off the bat. Then i3-wm because my computers are generally garbage. At least now both my desktop/laptop have 8gb ram. Could go higher maxing out chrome tabs.

Anyway thanks and for the info on the ports, I have used netstat before it's intimidating haha, so many at least when I checked on my windows laptop if I recall right.
