Thank you for the reply guys. Second query was that, is necessary to have the 5v power adapter ? I read on a lot of discussions that the OS is very shaky and crashes without the external power, especially with USB peripherals connected.
Also, which USB hubs you all recommend? That is, if I have an external power source, does the USB hub need to be powered? Or can I use a normal passive USB hub? I currently have the Logitech Keyboard and mouse, with the Unified USB receiver, so I think I should be fine, but I'm planning to add the wifi dongle.
