Hi,
Reverted all machines back to 2.12 yesterday, sorry. Need a reliable tails ;-)
Will try to make time over next weekend to try rc1 again unless a whisperback
on 2.12 is useful? Do you have a more step-by-step instruction for making a
movie that is persistent through the hogdown/crash?
Never used cd/dvd. All boot using USB installed tails stick, so not the
intermediary but final install stick. Install method for all is mint install
stick, make root, and follow install instructions to install tails 2.12 to usb,
then boot upgrade from within tails 2.12 to rc1
macbook 2,1 2gb ram
macbook 7,1 4gb ram
celeron n3060 2gb ram
As for future hardware, better to opt for more cores, as in 4 core atom, or
better to opt for more frequency, as in higher GHZ. Tails with tor browser uses
more frequency or uses more multicores? Thanks.

OK, then please start Tails, set an administration password, open
a Root Terminal, run this command in there:
journalctl -f
… and record a movie of that window around the time when the "hogging
down to a halt" happens.

Right, but that can't work is the system is already in too bad
shape :/

This sounds like a memory leak or a kernel/driver bug to me. But we'll
only know once you manage to provide more debugging info, sorry!
