The last few days I tried mini install of Debian on ther small Acer A110 machines with 512MB Ram
Looks like a change has been made in file permissions after update, because a simple X with OpenBox refuses to start, server refusing connection.
So this is written on the A110DK machine with a minimal install + XFCE. Writer’s Cafe just installed and registered.
With Chrome/Gmail and this program the RAM is well used, Htop shows about half of the RAM available, and the machine seems reasonalbly responsive.
The last few days I have found some of my old phones and MP3 players to see how they respond to a charge. Most of them work, one seems to need a new battery, or the phone is all dead.
More on the low powered netbooks and writing etc.
