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