I added this to the page: BTW This is not saying we will not teach you. We still want you to apply. And installing linux on your pc is a great first assignment. Seriously, our teaching style is we through you into a working web company as an intern. If you were to show up for your first day with a windows laptop, your very first assignment would be put linux on it. You will learn a lot doing this. But <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13399445">this thread on hackernews</a> makes it seem like I hate windows people and don't want to teach them. This is not true. Just complete assignment 1 and you can apply.
