re: Wink Moving to a Monthly Subscription UPDATE - Deadline Extended

I remembered today I have an old Chromebook, Asus C201P (it's a pathetic little thing my wife used to browse Facebook in the evenings) sitting in my closet.. just need to find the charger. Hope I cam find the charger and wipe it to install HA and that gives me decent performance. It runs ChromeOS pretty slowly though (which is why we got a new Chromebook) so my hopes aren't too high.

Found the charger. It runs ChromeOS ok but sluggish when doing anything besides navigating the OS.

Gonna put Ubuntu on it I think. That seems to be the standard for HA people.

Going with LXDE for desktop since it's lighter than Unity and seems to work with ARM processors

ETA3

Argh, wireless drivers. Gonna have to do some digging.

Also I don't like using Crouton to dual-boot.. this little machine doesn't have the horsepower to do that and run HA. Going to have to sink my teeth into Libreboot and see if i can figure out how to do that without bricking the thing







This is a great snapshot into learning linux
