How to Configure an Ubuntu Linux Computer for Less Than $200
,----[ Quote ]
| Does your family need an extra PC? Educator,
| Mac expert, and Linux enthusiast Phil Shapiro
| explains in this YouTube video how, for less
| than the price of some operating systems, you
| can configure a useful, virus-free computer
| with a 23-inch LCD monitor ($150 refurbished)
| and a Wi-Fi wireless adapter ($15). This
| project is easy to do and should take about
| an hour.

| Netbooks such as the original Acer Aspire
| One and the Dell Mini don't use the latest
| iteration of the Intel Atom processor
| (called Pineview) and come with 1GB of RAM or
| less. (Companies such as Lenovo now offer 2GB
| and 3GB versions of their netbooks.) Older
| netbooks usually run Windows XP, which some
| see as outdated.
|
| One easy way to make your netbook run faster
| is to use a new operating system called
| Jolicloud.
|
| To use Jolicloud, you'll need a 1GB USB key.
| Click the download link at Jolicloud.com and
| download the ISO file for Jolicloud and use
| Jolicloud's USB Creator to create the key.
| Boot up your netbook, watching carefully for
| the key to press so you can access the
| netbook's BIOS. Now, look for an option to
| boot from a USB key, enable it and save the
| BIOS. Jolicloud will walk you through the
| basic installation.

| Another advantage of bringing spinoffs back
| to their parent distribution is the increased
| development power. Why have 10 people
| working on each of 10 distributions when you
| could have 25 people working on each of 4
| distributions, each of which have a couple of
| specialised setups available.

Why we Use Fedora and not Microsoft

| In the long run, computer recycling centers
| like ours may not have a big impact on the
| spread of Fedora but we feel like we will
| have been a great help to many family's in
| need and at least we will have done a small
| part in helping out on the environmental
| impact of the toxins from these e-waste from
| these computers by keeping them out of
| landfill.
