John; I'd like to do the ultimate old fart (I'm 78) test install here, but the only quasi-sacrificial goat I have ATM is an older HP lappy that doesn't even have a parport. It has a 1.6 ghz amd 'turion' 64 bit cpu, more than enough HD, and a gig of dram. Its fast enough to function as a monitor if its 'ssh -Y target- machine' and run linuxcnc, but its not as speedy as the dual atom boards it would be serving as a display of. It already has the lcnc version of lucid installed, but needs a couple of hours to bring itself up to date when I next power it up. Is this enough to do a test install following the directions below? > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > ------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer > Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 > and get the hardware for free!
