I'm thinking of getting a touchscreen all-in-one for elderly person with Alzheimer's. They live a long way away, and video chats, shared desktops and so one would help reduce the sense of isolation. I envisage loading up Web pages, sharing photos, playing music, and so on for them. The box has to be touchscreen - they'd never cope with a mouse and keyboard, even though I expect their input to be minimal.
Something like the Lenovo IdeaCentre B320 (http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/digital-home/3322714/lenovo-ideacentre-b320-review/) looks good, apart from the preloaded Windows 7. I'll be administering it remotely, and I don't want that amount of pain. Apart from my Android phone, I've no experience of touch screen PCs, or Linux support for them. Can anyone with experience in this area offer advice on hardware and best distro - or indeed an alternative approach? -- Kevin Safford -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
