No glitch, very straight forward. Just had not much free time and I'm quite green on Linux Lite, so I had to take my time, but overall, it was easy.

Ok,it's done : I've installed LL on this mini laptop and now I have something perfectly usuable and functional (which it wasn't while running onW7), a perfect and cheap alternative to a tablet.

That was my primary goal, I don't like touch screens, I prefer a true keyboard, and iOS and Android are far less enjoyable than they're advertised for.

Rooting a tablet is too bothersome and complicated, that's why I've decided for a mini laptop.

Moreover, this laptop is provided with a 2.5" HDD, which I'll change for an SSD later on. To conclude this story, for me the scap heap proved to be a pile of gold.

Have a nice day.

Ok folks, after the tremendous interest you've shown for my post  :62: I'm going at it again.

Today, I just got a parcel : a nice HP Compaq Mini 102 laptop, direct from Fleabay. Checked it twice, perfect working conditions as far as I can guess. It's more or less 10 years old, has only 2Go RAM and 160 HD, but I guess, it'll prove enough for my needs.

As far as money is concerned, I payed the extravagant sum of 38 bucks for it.

I'll install LL on it in few days, and let you know all of this daring enterprise !

See you soon, for our next episode !  :57:
