The Last Psion | Alex on Nostr: This potato of a laptop fell into my hands recently - an Acer Aspire One D257, ...
This potato of a laptop fell into my hands recently - an Acer Aspire One D257, running an Atom N455 @ 1.66 GHz with 1GB DDR3 RAM.
I've just popped an SSD in it. I'm thinking about using it only as a MAME machine to run the #Psion SIBO emulation, just for demos.
So... Maybe Debian? Possibly even running 32 bit (it is a 64 bit CPU, but that lack of RAM worries me). A lightweight DE or WM.
I could run Arch, but I really want this to Just Work™.
Any suggestions?
