Ubuntu running on a XO

[usmcclerk]

Lol it looks like a foreign vibrator, lookin like it has 2 mb ram and 13mb hdd, lookin like on the box it says low definition.

Use an LXDE light desktop environment running Xubuntu underneath it. That should boost performance.

How the €:@>|$ did you ???do that

[volksgewer]

How hard was it to get Ubuntu running on the XO-1?

[laptopfreakazoid]

does it have an optical drive?

[Deke1980]

Can you run MP3s from flash drive and read pdas with that at the same time?

[digitaleswerken]

Playing MP3 is no problem and you can connect to any device which has USB and is suppoerted by Linux (= more or less everthing).

[Deke1980]

The xvid clip ran pretty nicely though. I am considering getting one for when I go camping etc.

Great video, I just wish the YouTube clip wasn't of a stop-motion animation. It makes it very difficult to tell if it displays choppy or not running on Ubuntu.

It currently runns with about 10 fps with framebuffer X-server device driver and the linux flash pluggin from Adobe.

But you should get a better performance using the Amd X-server driver and an optimized version of Gnash (the free flash replacement) for the Geode-LX.
