HP Pavilion n5495: Battery, RAM, CPU?
This was a machine similar to XE3 Omnibook series
I have this machine P3 1.0Ghz, 512MB (256x2), 40/60GB HDD. 1400x1050.
It is old but functional with Win XP Pro on it. It is a decent machine that works pretty well.
I am thinking of 2 uses for it.
- Media Player Machine - Dedicated to be an entertainment box 24/7. This it was for around an year or so on DC electric adaptor power.
+ Connect it to External HDD's via Firewire & USB (1.1.. any way to replace to 2.0) and thereby make all files / media accessible to my ACTIVE laptops.
- Put it on the LAN as a FILE / MEDIA SERVER / PLAYER
- Get the battery so Mom can use it for some netsurfing, movie watching etc on it.
IS THERE A SPECIAL MINI LINUX DISTRO THAT CAN MAKE THIS A LITTLE MEDIA SERVER OF TYPES? Or a little Home Theatre PC (HTPC).
I heard there were Linux Distros that had FAST BOOTING into MINI MEDIA PLAYER / CENTERS of sorts?
