| marcoceppi | ChinnoDog: I'm really not sure what's the cheapest option that comes with Ubuntu pre-installed | 01:02 |
|---|---|---|
| ChinnoDog | It doesn't have to be pre-installed, it just has to be cheap and work correctly with Ubuntu. | 01:04 |
| marcoceppi | ChinnoDog: I'll do some digging | 01:05 |
| ChinnoDog | It would provide a path of low resistance, especially it was cheap enough everyone had one. | 01:07 |
| ChinnoDog | Just like in schools these days. Everyone has the same hardware. Knowledge transfer in that scenario is very efficient. | 01:07 |
| adom | marcoceppi: thanks for llink, will check in a sec | 15:08 |
| adom | those laptops are enticing, but they look far from slim... | 15:30 |
| adom | ChinnoDog: marcoceppi probably has a better answer, but that EEE pc I had ran Ubuntu like a charm and was only like $350 new back then. probably like $250 for similar model now. | 15:30 |
| adom | i used all the flashy compiz stuff and wine and everything worked damn well | 15:31 |
| ChinnoDog | The problem with refurb is you can't tell everyone to just buy one. Their availability is always iffy. Plus, people like shiny new things. | 15:49 |
| adom | yeah good point. +5 for "shiny new things" | 15:58 |
| ChinnoDog | Maybe I should build uber cheap Ubuntu baseline device. idk if there is an actual demand though. | 16:25 |
| ChinnoDog | I want to build an anti-tablet. No touch screen or even a mouse. Keyboard navigation only. | 16:38 |
| marcoceppi | ChinnoDog: sounds like you want ratpoison | 16:46 |
| ChinnoDog | I googled it. I like their idea, but it is ugly. | 17:03 |
| ChinnoDog | Let's put this Ubuntu hour on the calendar so it can happen | 18:10 |
| ChinnoDog | adom: You have the furthest to drive. Nominate your favorite day. | 18:11 |
| ChinnoDog | If it doesn't happen on the weekend it should happen late enough on a week day that people can metro here. | 18:19 |
| ChinnoDog | Realistically the cheapest Ubuntu hardware is probably a tablet with an on-screen keyboard. | 18:54 |
| ChinnoDog | Meaning no Touch. Ubuntu desktop with semi permanent keyboard on display. | 18:55 |
