How to Make a Cheap Netbook

This all started when my 8 year old son wanted a laptop.

You will need:

1 working Dell Latitude CPi with a Pentium II and at least 128 MB RAM
1 Linux DSL LiveCD
1 Cisco 350 Aironet Wireless PC Card
1 USB thumb drive at least 256 MB

My laptop came with a 13-inch screen, 128 MB memory, CD-ROM, hard drive caddy, AC adaptor and a working battery.

The laptop I got did not come with a hard drive.

When buying a used laptop online, make sure to Streamyx if it will boot to the BIOS. Knowing that it will boot to the BIOS is a good indication that the laptop is running properly.

Also, make sure that the BIOS are not locked with a password.

Linux DSL LiveCD is designed to boot from the CD-ROM and loads itself into RAM memory.

For a wireless Internet connection you will need a Wi-Fi PC Card.

Most laptops Streamyx a slot on the side streamyx prolink the machine for PC cards.

The USB thumb drive will be used for storing setup information.

The USB thumb drive is not required, but it will speed up the loading process.

If you have a working hard drive for Streamyx laptop, you can install Linux DSL on the hard drive.

Do not think of this as a laptop that can do everything.

Think of it as laptop that will get you connected to the Internet.

This laptop is capable of running Windows XP. You will need a hard drive with at least 2 GB.

When it comes to memory, more is always better.

Pandora is a company that mainly makes its money through advertising deals on its streaming Internet radio service. But a growing portion of the business is also affiliate downloads of songs that users hear on Pandora and want to buy on either iTunes or Amazon's MP3 service. And the biggest mover accelerating growth in that regard are downloads taking place on the iPhone.Users are buying about a million songs a month now from these affiliate links on Pandora, CTO Tom Conrad tells me. Of those, a solid 20% are coming directly from Pandora's iPhone app, which includes an easy link to open the iPhone's iTunes app, and buy a track. That's really Streamyx streamyx acc that it's just one phone that a relatively small percentage of their users use.
