OP
My homeroom teacher was given a Mac, but we've been having a bunch of issues with it, and nobody really knows how to use Mac OSX at all, so my teacher wants to install Ubuntu or Windows 8 on the Mac, and get rid of OSX, but I'm wondering if it'll be as easy as shoving the Windows 8 disc/Ubuntu USB stick in and booting the computer, or if there's more we have to do to get it to install.

Use the Boot Camp Installer in the Utilities section.

EDIT: Tomato Hentai I would recommend seriously using the Bootcamp Installer and keeping a small partition for OS X - it takes care of all that for you, you just need to specify how big you want your partitions to be via slider - and keep the OS X as a backup in case something goes fatally wrong and you have no access to be able to boot the computer.

You might not want to get rid of OS X completely. Just shrink the partition down as small as possible or something. Chances are it's much harder to get back if you'd ever want it.

    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah the air can do that
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Ask @x65943 he's trained for that stuff
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Kissing random dudes choking in celery? Really? Need to study for that?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Yes it requires a degree
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:

    Sweet found my Wii u PSU right after I ordered a new one :tpi:
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It literally turns it on.
