Yup, that and clips on ABC, BBC, and Danish news sites. > It that case a cell phone does really well as does some really old PC > notebooks I've loaded Linux on. My flip phone has a postage stamp sized screen, and the $60 prepaid I put on it each year wouldn't stretch far. It doesn't have an HDMI output to drive my monitor. I have six ex-school notebooks, but their BIOS won't boot from USB to allow me to install linux. Maybe if I pull the drive out, reformat, and install linux while plugged into another computer, that'll do the job? Or will it load up the kernel with a bunch of drivers for the wrong host? I could spend a lot of time without much result, when a modestly priced mobo would drop in place of the duff Udoo X86.
