What are everyone's opinions on Microtel as a cheap computer used only for typing, and email, and websurfing?
I would advise going pure Linux or dual-booting with windows. Lindows type things are terrible. Of course, some n00bs like them :rolleyes:. You can install a good Linux barebones from two floppies, if your computer is really bad. That includes Lynx and a few other programs. If it isn't too bad, you could put a 50MB distro on (includes Linux, a few programs, and X windows system). If good enough though, put a full distro like RedHat or Slackware. Trust me, Mandrake is not the way to go. It is supposed to be the most user-friendly distro, but I find RedHat easier (and more powerful)
I do not have permission to put linux on any of mt familie's computers and was simply wondering if a microtel system would be good enough to put red hat, mandrake, etc. on. Or, do you mean the comps are built only for lindows?
