[XCSSA] Geek-Sat Alert: Linux thin client for $20 at AlGen Computer

[xcssa@xcssa.org]

Hey Guys&Gals-?,

        Picked up a couple of these thin clients friday. Just to play with. 
One works and the other one locks up at the loading Linux screen. Just a 
couple of questions. What version of Dam Small Linux should I use to 
configure the flash card and install the linux for the box? and is the one I 
think doesn't work locking up because its looking for a network? I'm not 
familiar with linux in any way but am interested in doing something usefull 
with these things. So I'm sure I'll have more questions. Basically just want 
to get an OS going on them that I can cruise the web with then later use USB 
devices. Later Gene
