Dedicated Linux Notebook
Asked by
john
Hello,
I would like to recycle an old Sony Vaio Notebook PCG-N505VE.
It is small and very portable to take into the field observing.
However, the WIN 98 operating system is no longer supported and was always a resource pig.
My thought is to make it a dedicated machine running a small linux kernal and Stellarium.
If I could attached the encoders on my AP-800 mount to it through an interface box, via the usb port
the notebook could act as a digital setting circle as well.
Of course this idea leads to many questions, I will only ask 3:
First, does this sound plausable?
Second, which varriant of linux would you recommend?
Third, could you direct me to a linux guru that would like to collaborate on a project like this?
