I wonder why it was so slow? It runs Windows 8 at a perfectly normal speed.

Because Windows is GR8!

I'm now trying to install Slacko Puppy 7.0 on my tablet.

So far, it's looking promising...

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Touchscreen doesn't seem to be working.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Also, can't work out how to connect to the Internet.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

You're using the wrong distro

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I'm trying out every type there is.

I'm now trying with Anti X. It is working smoothly. So, I'm now trying to install it.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It's failed to create the necessary partition.

I've now managed to install Android on one of the tablets.

It's running so slowly it's ridiculous.

It's Android. It's designed to run on phones. How can it be a struggle for it?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I'm now trying MX-Linux on one of the tablets. It seems to be working perfectly.

Tomorrow night, I shall see if I can install it.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

Have you tried Sun Solaris? Or OS2/Warp?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Wikipedia informs me the first one is 64-bits, which is 32-bits more than my tablets can cope with.

It informs me that the 2nd one was last updated in 2001.

I refuse to believe there's a human being alive who can understand anything this man says in this video.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

From 2 minutes on, it's just sounds that resemble words.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

It's no NetBIOS or whatever it was called. NetBEUI?

My computer just booted up normally!

[The Call of the Wendigo]

[Nightjar]

It was relatively quick as well.

wonder if that means I can update my OS.
