Pbtech selling intel compute stick with Ubuntu
Today I recieved an email from pbtech and was happy to see an ad for an intel compute stick running Ubuntu. It's cheaper than the windows model! Here's a link to the product - http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?z=p&p=MBDINT10000&name=Intel-Compu...
Of course the first thing I would do is remove Ubuntu and install Debian.
Cheers, William
I've got one at Forlongs that I'm playing with, for when we replace our thin clients. It's good fun, runs hot though ;-)
I haven't tried installing Debian yet.

Always worth comparing specs. The Windows version http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?z=p&p=MBDINT11001&name=Intel-Compute-Stick-With-Windows-8.1Bing--Intel-At has 2GiB of RAM instead of 1GiB, and 32GiB of flash instead of 8GiB.
Hi William,
the first thing I would do is remove Ubuntu and install Debian.
The Ubuntu version of the Intel Compute Stick comes with 1GB RAM and 8GB of Storage, while for $23 more, the Windows8.1 version comes with 2GB RAM and 32GB of storage.
It might be a better deal to spend the extra 23 bucks and replace Win8.1 with Debian.
cheers, Ian.
