I have one of these. It's been sitting by itself abandoned for several years. What should I do with it? Gentoo would take years to compile; I'd have to do it offline.
Specs, for reference:
AMD Geode LX700 CPU (433 MHz)
1GB flash storage
256GB memory
1200x900 combo reflective/transmissive display (in bright environments you can turn off the backlight and use reflected light)
create a roguelike that exploits its specs exactly
That would be dope
heh
>256GB memory
NANI?!
derp
>What should I do with it?
Read books and program in broad daylight.
Load your favorite shit on there and go innawoods for a few days.
Can I get one of these as an American? I'm serious.
ebay
To be honest, it looks more well-thought than some low budget laptops (besides specs), especially the
>1200x900 combo reflective/transmissive display (in bright environments you can turn off the backlight and use reflected light)
Why tablets aren't like this? If specs would be better and wouldn't be mad-green it'd be like budget thinkpads.
>Gentoo would take years to compile
No.
I have several LX700 thin clients that run Gentoo fine.
Keyword >compile
>Why tablets aren't like this?
Because the response timeis awful, lots of ghosting and very poor colors.
Install Kali Linux on it and use it as your pentesting machine
You do realize you don't have to compile ON it?
I'm pretty sure OP has means to compile on other things, even cross compile on his ARM phone if he doesn't have anything else.
>bringing that thing outside
I don't want to be mistaken for a starving african child
Its more like a swiss army knife,
Or a Chinese knife/axe/shovel combo.
Because this is intended to be cutting edge design, in basically a survival enviroment, even intended for use in sunlight in a area of the world where the sunlight is at its brightest.
And since it has to use office tools, it needs 4:3 screen with reasonable resolution, which it has.
Washed out colors is not a cost for all that utility, especially when its that portable.
>256GB memory
Ripe for virtualization
Yeah, that was already noted in the OP.
woah, ram must have been cheap back then
Running one of the BSD's on that would be badass
Forget Gentoo. Here is the answer you need.
