Make a linux kiosk of your old laptopSubmitted by orjanv on Wed, 2008-09-03 13:26.
There doesn't have to be the EOL = End Of Life for your old laptop. You could for example give the old computer a new life as a portal for YouTube at a public spot.If your're a handyman, you could build a dedicated kiosk and install the computer in it, locking it down to browser only and attach a set of speakers to the kiosk and either hook it up with cable or wifi. It could bring joy to anyone bypassing it, for instance at a café for students to watch the latest music videos or at the local nursing home for the users to watch old music videos/films.Howto: Install Ubuntu linux or a lighter version, Xubuntu and use opera kiosk mode.No limits for the use of it. Perhaps you could ask a friend you havent seen for a long time to help you build the kiosk and ask your sister or somebody creative enough to style the kiosk with YouTube.com materials at the top. <a href="http://ubunturoom.blogspot.com/2008/08/make-linux-kiosk-of-your-old-laptop.html">Read more at ubunturoom.blogspot.com</a> ( categories: )
