Hi, fellows!


I just added my machine to the Linux Lite Hardware Database (a few minutes ago, local time, UTC +2):

Code:

sâmbătă 09 martie 2024, 16:44:20 inxi -c 0 -ACdGMNSz System:   Kernel: 5.15.0-89-generic x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Xfce 4.16.0   Distro: Linux Lite 6.6 LTS Machine:   Type: Desktop System: Dell product: Precision T1700 v: 01 serial: <filter>   Mobo: Dell model: 048DY8 v: A01 serial: <filter> UEFI: Dell v: A25   date: 02/02/2018 CPU:   Topology: Quad Core model: Intel Core i7-4790 bits: 64 type: MT MCP   L2 cache: 8192 KiB   Speed: 2386 MHz min/max: 800/4000 MHz Core speeds (MHz): 1: 2292 2: 2436   3: 1796 4: 1796 5: 2032 6: 1798 7: 2395 8: 1797 Graphics:   Device-1: Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics   driver: i915 v: kernel   Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.21.1.4 driver: modesetting   unloaded: fbdev,vesa resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz   OpenGL: renderer: Mesa Intel HD Graphics 4600 (HSW GT2)   v: 4.6 Mesa 23.2.1-1ubuntu3.1~22.04.2 Audio:   Device-1: Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio   driver: snd_hda_intel   Device-2: Intel 8 Series/C220 Series High Definition Audio   driver: snd_hda_intel   Device-3: Z-Star Micro A4 TECH HD PC Camera type: USB   driver: snd-usb-audio,uvcvideo   Device-4: DigiTech Lexicon Lambda type: USB driver: snd-usb-audio   Sound Server: ALSA v: k5.15.0-89-generic Network:   Device-1: Intel Ethernet I217-LM driver: e1000e Drives:   Local Storage: total: 447.13 GiB used: 138.31 GiB (30.9%)   ID-1: /dev/sda vendor: Kingston model: SA400S37480G size: 447.13 GiB   Message: No Optical or Floppy data was found.

For the laptop (actually, a netbook) ASUS X200MA there is an entry back in 2022 I guess.
I found it searching for "Intel Celeron N2830".
It is the machine I used to make the videos posted here, running some 6.x series on this machine.
It's still working acceptable. I'm eager to test LL 6.8 on the same machine. When done, I hope I will release a new video to showcase the use of Linux Lite on older machines (This one is from 2015, so, nine years ago...)
I'm posting this since I saw many people here interested in reviving old machines and I guess this kind of configuration is a good overall image on what Linux Lite is capable of doing "on a shoestring budget".
You can also find lots of other machines using this CPU in the Hardware Database.
The only change I made to the standard configuration is storage. I replaced the HDD WD 500 GB with a SSD Kingston A400 480 GB (Same SSD model as on Dell T1700).

One thing more:
I reminded that in some posts, people supposed that there are losses of storage.
The real meaning of "480 GB", is actually 480 x 10E9 Bytes.
Now, if you divide three times with 1024 to get the real value, you get 447,03 GB which is the exact value reported by inxi.
Nothing lost. Just marketing strategy...

Best regards,Șerban!
