I just lent to a friend with a dead laptop, the only spare working PC I have,
which is a Celeron 600 with 3x128MB RAM. It's running Lucid Xubuntu. It was
working OK with my WiFi but not in her flat for some reason, but I was able
to move the ADSL router to a phone socket in the same room and connect the PC
through the Ethernet. It's usable for her for a couple of months.
She doesn't need power or portability so I'm recommending she gets one of the
Atom motherboards I used in the low power server. It takes up to 2GB memory
and has a DVI socket so it should make a nice little mini system for her
methinks. I'm wondering whether or not to get another one for myself to play
around with.
