Just found this in a box and according to some Googling, its TPD is 6.8w!!! Got Debian on there with LXDE but I don’t need another laptop. The big drawback is that it has a 32bit processor. It has a 100mbit network port, USB2.0, 2gb RAM and WiFi which isn’t working but is listed in ip -a
I’ve used it to add wireless capabilities to my ancient Brother laser printer but it was extremely slow ( 15 mins before a text page started printing, PER PAGE)
BTW I’m pretty sure you can get the WiFi working.
And for most use case you’ll want to get rid of the GUI. In Debian’s case, best to reinstall the so-called minimal or netinst image.
that’s a great idea re: music. i use a ton of Chromecast audios and, when Google “forgot to update the certs” I was SOL
I recommend MPD and a cli frontend like
ncmpcpp
(horrible name, good software).
