I have looked a bit, between out in the sun chores, thanks for suggestions-
I had a laptop running Ubuntu for this plan but the power in socket got broken because the techs for DSE who fixed it a year or more ago under warranty didn't put it back together properly .... Bought a ext case for its HD but it appears to be a Hitachi that has a different connection from anything else on the planet. I use a EEE mostly for day to day life and have thought of buying one- install GOS and Gramps but I don't think they are robust enough to survive being lent. Old Mandrake or Debian of the day with Gramps of that day in this IBM looks an option, it is small enough to carry the box, but robust in that it needs to be set up on the peoples existing screen, key pad and mouse with adapter. But Damn Small Linux or Puppy, look good on the net, read a page by some dude who put GRAMPS on a Puppy but I did not understand what he was on about nor could T figure if it ran OK or was near impossible or what??? Are there any / many GRAMPS users in the group, it is one of those things I do full on for a few weeks a year and then forget, and I can see a website is my next port of call.
