@darachennis What about one of the cheap chromebooks? Perhaps not sturdy, but cheap enough not to matter?2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@skeptomai@cpswan Lenovo out then, thanks! I figured they'd be a bit kid fragile. A chromebook seems like a sensible option...2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@skeptomai@cpswan This is a great initiative! Sounds like something that would be useful to setup in the UK/EU too!1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@darachennis Chromebooks have the advantage of cheap replacement, but the kit itself isn't all that robust (but is no worse than cheap PCs)1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@cpswan I think @codestarterorg have a good Ubuntu based setup. https://github.com/codestarterorg/ubuntu-chromebook-installer … // This could be a winning setup!
