Linux on Fujitsu E360 – the “Cloud” experiment
Attempted installing Ubuntu 8.10 and Redhat on an old Fujitsu E360 with no luck.
I’m going to try Suse 11.1, OpenGeu and gos 3.1 next. I just want to run it to stream Pandora in the baby’s room, and occasionally look stuff up. I’m essentially trying to build a machine that will be used to run “cloud” applications with no intent of actually storing anything on it.
I found that I’ve been able to do pretty much everything with Ubuntu with no withdrawals from either Mac or PC applications. I really think that cloud based applications will spell doom to the concept of the operating system in the coming years, particularly as people lean to adapt to web-based services that provide functionality that no longer requires a core operating system.
