Hi ivan thanks for the replay. I read, that a multimediacard slot is in the laptop to run windows on it... Thouht that a standard product get the low price and not a diversity strategy, each country an indovidual laptop. so linux is free. Free means free from money. 366 MHZ ? then windows woun´t run anyway. Change the processor to 500 MhZ at least! Then we can take mozilla and OOO suites on linux. have you a documentation how the mesh is working? What do you think of the serverless instant messenger Cspace.in ? Which is really good i think.
