Whilst at the tip rooting around for bike bits, I found a tidy Acer Apsire 1.
Its the flash version - not the more desirable HDD model but it does have 8 gig SSD memory.
I was wondering if it would be able to run XP. But if not, can I run a Hyperterminal program via Linux? I guess the obvious answer is a resounding 'yes' but just need to tick some boxes.
I need a small lightweight computer for hyperterm type work. I am rebooting and updating units via a USB to Serial adaptor and need something smaller than the hefty Toshiba I have.
The Acer is perfect as other than the password locked OS, its tiny. Oh, and it was free. My kind of recycling.
Jolicloud will take about 12 hours to download on my current fraudband.
