Comment on Have you lost your thumb drive?? by peter

I agree. How about strongly advising people to set the name of their drives to their Evergreen usernames or just their names?
Or to keep a small text file with that info in the drive’s main directory, and leaving anything private in folders? I do think you should avoid poking into the folders if at all possible . . .

On balance, though, if you have things that are horribly private, don’t 1) carry it on a thumb drive that you 2) leave lying around . . .

Thanks for voicing your concern. We’re looking at this policy closely to try and find a balance between getting drives back to users as fast as possible while at the same time respecting everyone’s privacy. Stay tuned..

that could be really bad if you dig through the thumb drive and find like… really private stuff or something. Maybe you guys shouldn’t do that

As far as I know, only Ubuntu. I would imagine there are others though.

They run Ubuntu and based on what I’ve seen they have Gnome, KDE, xfce, fluxbox, and a few other window managers.

Nuh-uh! It’s installed on all the computers in Advanced Computing, but with a few exceptions it’s not on most of the PCs in the rest of the computer center (sadly).
