At Build a #PC and Install #Linux workshop at Makerspace 125 in Greenbelt, Maryland on May 20, 2017.
My old home server which survived a move, two different ISPs and a variety of other things stopped running on Friday 15 August 2008. The best I can figure it was installed about 14 October 2004. It was still running Fedora Core 2.
The fan stopped, and the clips that held it to the heat sink melted away.
Depuis sa création en 1974, l’Ina conserve et exploite les programmes produits par les chaînes publiques hertziennes, soit 60 ans de radio et 50 ans de télévision. Grâce à un ambitieux plan de sauvegarde numérique de ses archives engagé en 2001, l’Ina est aujourd’hui en mesure de mettre en ligne à l’usage de tous près de 10 000 heures de ce patrimoine audiovisuel français.
After creating a bootable USB stick with Ubuntu 8.04 on it (I decided against the version tailored specially for the EEE PC) the installation went pretty smoothly.
There are a number of driver issues with Ubuntu on the EEE PC, but helpfully there are also a number of scripts designed to correct these problems. The first one I used didn't seem to work, so I decided to remove it and start again.
The second set of instructions, from www.array.org/ubuntu/setup.html were more successful, and currently things seem to be running fine. Touch wood!
While the Xandros Linux that came on the EEE PC was pretty snappy, it was a bitch to customise, and even installing Firefox 3 proved to be a painful experience. I'm also impressed by how polished, and Mac-like, Ubuntu is.
Fingers crossed nothing breaks! :)
