Linux on 7' mini netbook ARMVT8500? Location: ubuntuforums.com - date: December 8, 2009 EBay is currently flooded with super cheap tiny laptops that currently sell for around $125 but after Christmas may drop below $100. The are all pre-loaded with WINCE 5.0 or 6.0 but I feel comfortable that they could run some flavor of Linux, maybe xubuntu, if someone figured out to load it. It wont boot from a unetbootin stick - in fact I suspect that there is no BIOS and that the kernel image is factory loaded into the 2GB SSD drive. Has anyone had any success with loading Linux onto one of these? My little writeup on the device follows: ---------------- I purchased a small notebook machine direct from Hong-Kong distributor, through eBay. The are commonly listed on eBay as '7' mini netbook'.

Home And Exile Chinua Achebe Pdf Files. It is a generic mini-laptop running a WinCE6.0 kernel on a VIA ARM-VT8500 processor. It is a cute little machine, weighing 1 pound, 5.7 ounces with a 800x480 7' screen, measured diagonally. This machine is absolutely generic with no brand name whatsoever.

Connect two Linux machines via ethernet location: ubuntuforums.com - date: August 17, 2012 Hi, I have problem with connection between two devices, my notebook with Ubuntu 11.04 and Beagleboard with Angstrom Linux distro. Connected via crossover cable. I made: On notebook: Code: ifconfig eth0 192.168.4.2 up On Beagleboard: Code: ifconfig usb0 192.168.4.1 up On both I can ping to that addresses, and I see on notebook eth0 and on beagle usb0 ethernet cards when I use ifconfig. But can't ping each other. On notebook I see messages like: Code: From 192.168.4.2 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable What thing I forgot to do? Or what can block ICMP?

OS X (Honest answers please!) location: ubuntuforums.com - date: October 17, 2008 Yeah, I know that OSX is Darwin with Aqua and all of the closed-source apple apps thrown on top. My question is what are the advantages/disadvantages of OS X vs. Linux considering they're both (loosely) UNIX based? Advantages both in the nitty gritty of the OS and the interface of either. Already, using the Mac, one large plus is that it has bash, rather than that horrible shell that comes with Windows, and the ugliness that is Cygwin. Arch Linux, RAM location: ubuntuforums.com - date: April 15, 2006 Ok, so I installed Arch Linux on a whim the other night.

It's been an, umm, educational experience since I'm pretty new to Linux, but I've got Xorg going and all of my basic stuff working. So I started up Fluxbox and did 'free -m' and saw that I'm only using 20 megs of RAM to run my basic desktop, while Fluxbox in Ubuntu uses like 65. So my question is, what is the reason for this fairly huge difference? Is it the fact that I still havn't gotten a bunch of stuff working, like openGL and the right drivers for most things? Once I get those loading will the memory usage be closer to Ubuntu? Or are there some things in Ubuntu that I could take out to knock its resourse usage down closer to Arch? I like Ubuntu better so far.

Apt is faster and easier (for me, anyhow) than pacman. Plus I've got ALOT of configuring left to do to get everything working the way Ubuntu does automatically. Its worth it if I can still end up using such little memory, but if Arch is just goin. Ubuntu/Lubuntu 12.10 or Linux Mint 14 XFCE for an older computer? Location: linuxquestions.com - date: January 1, 1970 This is kind of a fun question for you guys, I have a old/decent computer I found, it's an HP Workstation xw4200 or something.

It has a Pentium 4 3.5ghz, 4GB of memory ( upgraded) and the hard drives surprisingly use SATA, I also put in a Geforce GT 220. This computer is for my mom who isn't too great with computers so remember that I would like a distro that is simple to use. It has win7 right now and it's pretty damn fast so I need a Linux distro that's probably faster than how it's operating now to convince my mother (as she'a always used Windows). Ubuntu is probably the most user friendly distro out there as well that it is fast and stable so I would like to put Ubuntu on it, however since the PC is a bit old I would like to squeeze in as much performance as I can and I was thinking of Linux Mint 14 with XFCE.

Which do you think is better? OH ALSO, or would Lubuntu also be a good or better choice? Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora or OpenSuse location: linuxquestions.com - date: January 6, 2012 Hi Guys, Ive been using Ubuntu since version 8.04 but I don't like version 11 and 12. I have version 12.04 LTS currently installed on my laptop. I3 processor, 4GB or ram, etc etc. Ubuntu runs slow sometimes.
