Picked up yet another computer:
a shuttle KPC.
This was a full system from a local shop, all I did was plug it in
celeron E1200 (dual core)
1 Gig Ram
80 gig HD
came with Fedora 8 pre-installed.
I've kept it running that.
Comments:
- Hooked up our Quickcam PRO 9000; needed to add the extra module to support that, since Fedora 8 didn't support that out of the box.
- is a bit noiser that I'd hoped. Have found similar comments on the web; their solutions was to mount an external, larger fan, and disable the internal one; may also do this
- main uses: my OGG collection (didn't have MP3 support by default, due to being Fedora, so am moving to OGG, from MP3)
- web surfing/flash
- looking at video from our digital cameras: again had to add codecs, due to Fedora (here I relented and put some on, since modifying the default from the camera is currently difficult)
