[ale] ARM CPU devices, linux capable, cheap

[Ron Frazier]

Hi Boris,

You've got a point.  Depends on what you're doing with it I guess.  For 
a full blown Ubuntu install with GUI, I'd probably want to see 500 MHz 
CPU and 500 MB RAM.  1 GHz and 1GB would be even better.  Before I 
decommissioned it, I had Ubuntu running nicely on a 2002 vintage Pentium 
IV 2.4 GHz with only 1 GB of RAM.  Not sure whether the main limiting 
factor on slower machines is CPU or RAM or both.

Sincerely,

Ron

call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
