Hi, I would like to say, great job on the Edubook! I would like to know, what’s the Graphics Card Name? Or the Chipset name? Thanks

Why are all the videos in a living room or a hotel? Where is your office or workshop?

There are some videos in the factory and a couple in my living room. The videos have to be made somewhere. I have to wait until our factory closes to make videos there because of the background noise.

I see. No worries about that. Nice to see that there are still folks working out of their garage/living room and churning out impressive products!

I’m for whatever version runs the best on your hardware. Have you tested whether mplayer or vlc works? I’d like to be able to view video that I shoot in the field and then upload it to my blog via wi-donor cellular connection.

Not for us. WattOS is the fastest implementation of Ubuntu we have tested. We tested everything. We also tested Crunch Bang. We need to consider many factors. The first is speed. The second is storage. The third is interface. LXDE looks very much like Windows XP so it is more familar than XFCE to most users.Note that the same kernel should work on Xubuntu or Ubuntu. We arleady have Edubuntu and Ubuntu running. We also have Easy Peasy running. This is only the latest version of Ubuntu.

Wouldn’t xubuntu be more proven choice?
