just got hold of a little net book that came with windows ce v5.0 ..the ie 4 that comes with it is shit .is there any way to download minimo for it ,all the d/l links ive found are dead and noone seems to know much about it ,ive tried opera which is java based but its slow as hell ..can you help in any way dude ?or dudes?

dont worry ..this thing is a pile of crap its going back to maplins tomorrow morning and being exchanged for the linux netbook they got .

Hope you've better luck with linux Vince.

I know I rant but....

2nd hand IBM thinkpad on fleabay from one of the refurbishing companies. Solid as a rock they are

X series are great but T good too.

Good choice

Yeah - WinCE is a dog - more so than the worst that Win usually has to offer.

took it back today and exchanged for the 30 quid cheaper linux model ..so far its excellent ,my sons well chuffed with it even though its a strange flavour of linux ,debian based ,but everything works and works well for such a low spec netbook ..even youtube loads quick and runs

its tiny too ..about 9" x 6" and the netbook

Excellent - glad to hear that you're satisfied with it.

¿When you say that it's a 'weird flavour of Debian-based Linux', what distro actually is it?

After you've had it a while, maybe you could stick Ubuntu Netbook Remix on it - it's supposed to be rather good.

Good choice Vince

I love getting new geek toys that looks a nice little netbook you got there. Ive been saving a new Samsung Q220 till i start back to uni in a few weeks time, only been switched on once since i had it a few months back mmmmmm new toys

Linux is a fun OS i might duel boot mine to run with a copy of win7 and linux
