I'm cleaning out my closet, and found two old laptops<br>that might do as sensor network nodes.<br><br>One's not so bad - a compaq presario 4000 with cd-rom<br>drive and 128MB - and after working around<br><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377242" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/377242</a><br>it looks like ubuntu 12.04 alternate install might eventually<br>finish :-)<br><br>The other is an ancient Dell 4000 laptop with a screen<br>problem and no cd-rom driver; plugging in an external<br>monitor lets me see it boot to Win98.<br>But it only has 32MB of RAM. I see that one can buy<br>256MB dimms that should work from<br>http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?p=P133SO256S<br>for $14, so I may do that sometime.<br><br>But if anyone here has a spare pc133 sodimm 256MB 32 x 64<br>they'd be willing to part with, maybe I could offer it a new home...<br><br>I have lots of other, somewhat more recent ram I could trade for, too.<br>-
