nice specs, I would put Debian on it and use as a portable network analyzer. I'll probably do so as soon as it's available in my country

- WiseWeasel 14y agoYou would have to flash the BIOS to get past the Verified Boot security.
- xxqs 14y agohmm. I saw somewhere it was characterized as highly hackable

- xxqs 14y agoI'm currently using two types of devices: -- 10" Acer AspireOne netbooks. They are cheap, and Ubuntu works flawlessly (true before 12.04) -- ALIX boards from pcengines.ch. They are even cheaper, and low-power, and with RS-232 console port. Perfect if you don't need CPU power. but for the cases when I need to do packet trace on a Gigabit link, I need to make sure the traffic is low enough for the acer netbook to catch up
- ZeroGravitas 14y agoWhat you say appears to be true, yet quite misleading since there's a simple process, provided by Google and built into the device, for flashing the BIOS (or at least there was on the Series 5 Chromebooks): http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-for-chrome-os-devices/samsung-series-5-chromebook http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-fo...
- WiseWeasel 14y agoAh, thanks for the clarification. That'll learn me to parrot information from random people.
