RE: The Cloudbook Well, XP installed successfully but I can’t find my product key. Even if I did, I’d still most likely have to call Microsoft for a new one as I’m installing it on completely different hardware. (It’s the copy I got with my TabletPC which is now running Vista so I assume installing it on another computer is kosher.)
RE: Linux media server This project is DOA. I got the new hard drive, WiFi card and another 2x128MB of RAM. Everything worked but 320MB RAM is not enough to run smooth video on a 233MHz processor. Oh well, it was a nice try.
