  1. A new kit could help turn your Raspberry Pi into a Linux desktop. The Pi Desktop kit from Premier Farnell -- the largest manufacturer of the Raspberry Pi -- includes an add-on board containing: an mSATA interface, an intelligent power controller (plus real-time-clock and battery); a heat sink; a USB adapter (Micro-Type A); spacers and screws -- and the box to keep it all in. The company said the kit can help Raspberry Pi fans turn the board into a Pi into a "fully featured Linux-based desktop" computer "within minutes" which can then be connected to a display via the HDMI interface. Premier Farnell said that, when combined with a Raspberry Pi, the £39.99 Pi Desktop provides users with "all the functionality they would expect from a standard PC", although the Raspberry Pi 3, a solid-state drive and a camera also need to be bought separately -- all of which is going to push the price up. According to Premier Farnell, using an SSD makes the system highly robust; booting the Raspberry Pi directly from the SSD also makes for a faster startup. Plenty of projects aim to turn the Raspberry Pi into a desktop, including the Pi Top. You won't get the performance you'd expect from a high-end laptop, but according to TechRepublic's tests it's possible to get work done on a Raspberry Pi-powered PC -- so long as you're willing to make a few compromises http://www.zdnet.com/article/pi-desktop-this-kit-turns-your-raspberry-pi-into-a-linux-desktop/#ftag=RSSbaffb68
  2. Ok, I have an old HP Compaq nx8220 which, I think, has 512mb RAM and 60 gb hdd I'm thinking of trying to install and understand Linux. So, is it worth doing? What flavour of Linux should I go for? I'm not thinking of doing anything intensive, CD/ DVD ripping, web browsing, etc. So, any thoughts people?
