Just found this in a box and according to some Googling, its TPD is 6.8w!!! Got Debian on there with LXDE but I don’t need another laptop. The big drawback is that it has a 32bit processor. It has a 100mbit network port, USB2.0, 2gb RAM and WiFi which isn’t working but is listed in ip -a

I’ve used it to add wireless capabilities to my ancient Brother laser printer but it was extremely slow ( 15 mins before a text page started printing, PER PAGE)
