My mrs likes it on her really really old laptop! (about 7 years old). Its perfect just for browsing and playing browser games
Totally agree!Originally Posted by Theblacksheep
I can see why so many companies/sites are encouraging it, but I don't like it one little bit.
I setup a proxy at home and noticed although no one in my house has an account or uses fb, the other sites visited through 'likes' (aka advertising endorsements) and other 'social' media plugins generated so much data that fb was the top site.
Its overtaken flash as most the annoying useless bit of websites.
In a way that parallels the way people used to think 'the internet' as the WWW, we are now seeing those late to the party or many of the generation of children currently in school define 'the internet' as the corporate advertising machines such as fb, google and youtube.
Does anyone know if this installs and runs well one the really old rm tablet machines? We have a couple I could use this on if all works well.
It runs on an old IBM laptop (circa 2004) with upgraded RAM to 1gb. So should work fine on old rm lappys
This would be a tablet device though, so wondering about the input device such as pen recognition and the likes. Does Linux see the tablet devices as just a generic input or does it require certain drivers to be added? I'll still try an install to find out. These things have tiny amounts of ram though. About 256 mb if I remember right.
Well my samsung UMPC recognises touch inputs on Ubuntu, Joli (so far) - its a bit off (just a bit, a few mm) and almost all other types of linux I have shoved on it.

Hmmm. I'll see how it goes. Could be a hand tool to just sit in the staff room as a quick email reader, booking system checker/booker.
Like I said, my other half likes it on her old school laptop, just for browsing and playing web based games.
It will EASILY make use of your old equipment
Im Going to install this on a vye 537 will let you know how it goes.
Ok installed on vye.
the problem i encountered was the "proxy" issue and could not get to the login screen, i was stuck on i am connected to the internet. i solved this after a little research by:
Hit Alt+F1 to load terminal. Type "nickel-browser &" to load Chrome.
2. Click on the spanner to change the settings. In "Under the hood" you can click "change proxy settings"
3. put in the proxy details.
4. hit wide spead.
5. authenticate.
6. done.
