I'm not sure what you meant by this although the Open-PC and Penguin Wee
are/were identical hardware wise. The only difference is in the
software/branding of the unit.
The original Penguin Wee/OpenPC should run Trisquel great. If you ordered it
with 1GB it might not be sufficient for the latest version. I'm guessing that
is what your gripe is. Upgrading the ram would be a good idea. We usually
recommend more ram to people unless they are trying to cut corners and also
sticking with an older LTS release. I would not advise less than 2GB for the
current version of Trisquel and even then 2GB only if one is going to stick
with the 6 release once it comes out for the next 3 years.
The new Penguin Wee / HTPC is nice. It supports HD video and is much faster.
The original Penguin Wee though has some nice qualities about it too.
Especially if you are just looking to use it for web browsing, email, word
processing, etc. The new version is a super charged Penguin Wee and probably
overkill for the majority. Most of the people buying them are not at all tech
savvy. They are just looking for something simple to send emails, browse the
web, and maybe do a little typing (think snail mail letters). The original
also is a really great system for learning GNU/Linux because of the price
point. It works perfectly without the need to deal with proprietary software
thus allowing one to really get into the software.
