Aloha Gary,
I have one running Ubuntu Linux on the HD. It works ok on a wired or
wireless network with a Fixed IP. The automatic gui for setting up the
network failed to work and stay where it was set so I wrote the file
myself using a fixed IP etc. I also run FreeBSD 7.2 on it on a plug in
flash drive using Manolis DVD copy. I paid $400. with extra battery and
memory.
I may have-to spring for one of these puppies -- with optical
and mouse. At least two medicos are interested in my ideas...
[Still, half-price upped my buy_now flag:)
Haven't set up the wireless for use with Coffee Shop wan yet.
Tech support for the mini is from India and I know more than they do
about Linux and haven't used Linux in years.
The Mini has had no problems except the touch pad is usless. Touching
the pad is a click or several same as the buttons.) I found out that by
touching the light above it turns it off so you can use a wireless mouse
which works well. HP Tech support did not know how to disable the
touchpad. A terminal is brought up by alt/f2.
What kind? xterm, konsole, or the gnome flavor? I prefer
something with a solid cursor; the Gnome blinks ... and I'm
too lazy to dig into the code to see where to off the
blinking. this is getting interestinger and interestinger.
aloha, al.

The Ubuntu is based on Debian Linux and is only the base system. I use
xterm and the browser and the files we created ourselves for storing
info. The GUI is a HP thing and I dont like it. It has too many photo
features and other things we dont need since my wife has a dedicated Box
she uses for photos and videos. Our mini is for using while traveling
and keeping up with finances while were on the go etc.
