- | Several years ago I purchased an Acer Aspire One ZG5 for the relative bargain of £85. It served me well as a netbook for a couple of years, I replaced the default Linux Operating System with Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook edition and enjoyed using it. System resources were relatively sparse having an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor, 512MB RAM and an 8MB Video card. However, courtesy of severe butterfingers, | + | ===== 1 ===== |

After around 6 months, I decided to reboot the netbook using a TV as a monitor, to see whether it still worked at all, and it did! I had a spare 1GB memory chip lying around from a previous PC upgrade, and decided to install that into the netbook, to see whether performance improved.

- | I opted for Lubuntu 12.04, installing from a USB CD drive as I has trouble encouraging my machine to boot from USB stick. Once Lubuntu was installed, I connected via ethernet to the adjacent router, and installed XBMC 11.0, and selected a few plugins for XBMC, the iPlayer plugin being of the most interest to me. I also installed the Quartz skin as I knew that this was a lighter skin than the default. | + | I opted for Lubuntu 12.04, installing from a USB CD drive as I has trouble encouraging my machine to boot from USB stick.

- | The install was flawless, and before long I was experimenting with the plugins, some of which were more polished than others. I purchased a Microsoft branded Wireless keyboard and mouse, and these were simply plug and play, as was a USB infra-red remote control purchased from ebay for £3. This little netbook has been quietly soldiering on in this arrangement for the last 6 months. I have set it up so that I can now stream audio and video from a shared drive in the house, and have even used it for a barbecue party in my garden. | + | Il y a plusieurs années, j'ai acheté un Acer Aspire One ZG5 pour le prix plutôt avantageux de 85 £ (un peu plus de 100 euros).

Because of the very limited hardware of this machine, it would be unrealistic to expect super High Definition at all times, but I can stream video from almost any data source. Spotify for Linux works without issue. Video is connected via VGA to my television, and audio via phono cable to our surround sound. If there is ever anything that we would like to play that XBMC cannot handle, we can simply launch Chromium and play via the browser. | Because of the very limited hardware of this machine, it would be unrealistic to expect super High Definition at all times, but I can stream video from almost any data source.
