Swimmers are being urged to follow safety advice at the beach, after lifeguards performed 13 rescues and 10 assists on Christmas Day alone.
Swim between the flags, people!
The Gathering was really the spark that make the dance music scene take off in NZ. By around 2000 there were events happening all over the country and there was less need to trek to the middle of nowhere for a festival. The initial enthusiasm and idealism that energised the early days started to fade so money was needed then suddenly it's a much harder game.

“The central issue the story raises is one of media responsibility. Why was there no rush to demand that the people who kicked it off justify their angle, their selection of voices, and their framing?” — Connie Buchanan.
News stories don’t just pre-exist somewhere out there, walking around intact and whole, waiting for an equal chance to step through the door of a media outlet and into the public arena.
They exist in tiny bits and pieces, among heaps of junk and distortions and agendas — and the bits are selected, assessed, ranked, and assembled, according to the rigour and professionalism, or the whim and worldview, of the journalists and outlets involved.
Barry Soper chose to construct a pretty ugly beast out of their scraps. The Herald chose to parade it. Then they stepped back and let everyone else feed it, until the whole thing became something big and real-seeming enough to cause genuine uncertainty and fear, and to prompt genuine attempts to do the proper journalistic work of understanding what this new health initiative is all about.
Ubuntu or Mint are among the most noob-friendly.
But probably the biggest impact will be whether you go with Gnome or KDE. KDE is more Windows-like so could be a softer landing.
I've read a lot of stories where installing Linux resulted in less support calls, not more. It depends on how ambitious the user is - if they're mostly just staying in their lane and browsing the web it should be rock solid.
80% of the time, compiling something from source is just a matter of downloading the code, opening a terminal and changing to the directory containing the source and running these commands:
./configure
make
make install
It's the same 3 commands, 80% of the time.
Installing the prerequisites can be tricky, if the docs are lacking.
