Anyone happen to have experience with both the 1st and 2ng gen Sony #VaioP? Wikipedia says there are differences, but does not go into deal. The biggest change with then 2nd gen #SonyVaioP seems to be the 16x16 trackpad, and larger battery. I'm curious what the physical changes were between the two generations. #umpc
@Hayden I love #Netbooks and I really want a more modern #Mainboard & #Screen for my #VaioP P11Z!
Sony VAIO VGN-P11Z/W review

There may be a Netbook processor in place, but this is a fully fledged ultraportable

@xgranade Or you could just use some #simple, #airgapped #Linux machine like getting a cheap old #ThinkPad and put @bunsenlabs / #BunsenLabsLinux or @ubuntu / #UbuntuLTS on.

In fact, I do have an old #VaioP #P11Z with #BunsenLabs on and that's a cute little writing machine...

Tho I'm working on @OS1337 and once that's done this should provide users with #DistractionFreeComputing & #DistractionFreeWriting in 80x25 characters...

Shameless self-promotion aside: Yes, I do have a typewriter too...

oh nice...

After @thisdoesnotcomp we see @ActionRetro to make a video, about the #VaioP tho he has a #P21Z and puts #PuppyLinux on it.

Personally, I can recommend @bunsenlabs if you want to still use it with anything modern and not #WindowsXP & #WindowsVista.

Also I hate that noone has put a German #Recovery disc for my #P11Z online...

And yes, I am still mad at #Intel for the botched #GMA500 AND their refusal to release the #drivers that exist for them!

Installing Linux, But Smol 🥹

@Linux_Is_Best worst-case you gotta use something like @bunsenlabs / #BunsenLabsLinux with it's #OpenBox desktop cuz that even runs on a #VaioP / #P11Z with just 2GB of memory and the atrocious #GMA500 chip...
