I found the problem. One of the locking levers was bent a little. I attemped to unlock it and the bracket broke. The heatsink wasn''t seated properly. I didn't notice it until I was looking at it from multiple angles. I pushed a little on the heatsink and the temp dropped below 60c. I think this...

90c is hot! I may have to treat this as a new build. That is start all over. I have removed and replace so much on this machine over the years.......................

I fired up an old computer that I built many years ago. I installed Linux Mint 17.2 XFCE 32bit. The processor is a P4 2.6ghz with stock cooler. I can't remember what version. I vaguely remember that it ran hot. Today the bios temp was about 73c. Seems toasty to me but ran well and long enough...

Linux Mint Cinnamon is the way to go. It works a lot like windows and if you have an issue there are likely to be more answers. It is so easy even I can do it.

I have a large vinyl record collection. They are mostly Rock Music from maybe the early 70's to late 80's. I have long ago recorded a 100 albums or so. Back then, I used various Windows based programs. I got wonderful results. I finally got a usable recording of an old Fleetwood Mac vinyl album...

Good question.

Linux Mint 17.1 is available. It looks like we will be able to update from 17 to 17.1 without a fresh install. I plan to wait awhile for them to get the bugs out. I wonder if it will bork my games? Anyone tried it yet?

Good stuff fellas! Keep it going.

I have been working on this in another direction with Suse Studio. I did get Xiphos Bible program on the distribution but have not figured out how to get the modules installed. But the disto size is around 647mb and works. https://susestudio.com

I installed it on my desktop pc. I tried 1024x768 and others in various combinations. None worked as well. The 800x600 graphics looked great. I may work on it some more but I don't want to break it. Still, I am so happy that I'm doing back hand flips.

I forgot to add, run in 800 x 600 window mode. Also set desktop to 800 x 600 before game launch.

Good news. I am using Linux Mint 17, Playonlinux 4.2.2, and Wine 1.7.3. I installed C&C using the above with no libraries etc.. Just a straight install with no game patches. The only problem is when closing the game POL has an error in main on the launcher. I just ignore it. I can after a long...

Raspbian on the Pi. The stick computers seem to all have Android though linux can be installed on a lot of them. I recall Ubuntu on one.

Yes it works! I plan to try one of those stick computers soon.

That is me Booman.

My stuff came in! I now have a Raspberry Pi Laptop! It works! I got some cleanup to do. I am sure the appearance of the connections could look better. I am using it is post.

I looked at amazon and newegg. They all seem to come from China. Which is were I ordered from anyway. Plus it is hard to find consistent search terms. I can hardly wait to get all my stuff so I can play with my toy.

Wow! Looks good! I got a dark theme sci-fi desktop. I tend towards the dark as well.

Are there any US retailers or chain stores that sell a female micro usb to female usb adapter? I ordered the wrong stuff from China. I did order the correct but will add to the delay. I am going to mount my Raspberry Pi to a Motorola Atrix Lapdock. I got the lapdock and it should work if I keep...

I getting a better idea about this Distro idea. For instance Puppy Linux. I had some trouble with hardware recognition. Maybe because I am not familiar with it. Some Slackware distros are fast with low system requirements but I again lack knowledge. There is a whole lot to think about.
