Subject: [PATCH] clarification on laptop to bring

We sometimes get questions about what OS people should use. We also see often people coming with laptops that they don't have admin rights on.
Do we want to go ever further and say a recent version of the OS?  We may have some challenges if people come with,  say, Windows XP or Ubuntu   10.4 (or whatever Mac's outdated version is -- I've never used a Mac).
