NotHereToPlayGames Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago So below are my five oldest computers. The Intel Atom N450 (Acer Aspire One, 16yrs old, barely used, worst purchase ever!) is officially going to Goodwill. The Intel Celeron N3050 (Acer Aspire X, 11yrs old, freebie) is also officially going to Goodwill. The Intel Core2 Quad Q6700 is undergoing a small journey. I'm unsure of the depths of that journey at the moment. I installed Q4OS (based on Debian Linux) on the Intel Core i5-6300U. I did Plasma instead of Trinity, but eating up 6.5GB RAM out of only 8GB was a "H#LL NO!" and it got uninstalled. But that basically tells me that it would be a WASTE OF TIME to install Q4OS (or even Zorin) onto the Q6700 computer. So I have narrowed my options to Win7 Enterprise and Win10 LTSB 2016. I'm looking to compare/contrast YouTube "watchability".
NotHereToPlayGames Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Today's "find". Darik's Boot and Nuke 2.3.0 (DBAN) - secure 3-pass "wipe" of hard drive to ensure that no data can be recovered after donating it. The POC Acer Aspire One showed ELEVEN HOURS for a "wipe" using Active@ Boot Disk's KillDisk (was just over 2hrs for the Acer Aspire X). DBAN is 43min in and shows 4hrs 33min remaining - using DoD Short 3-pass option. Largeley, of course, due to the collosal POC nature of the Acer Aspire One. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darik's_Boot_and_Nuke https://sourceforge.net/projects/dban/ Edited 1 hour ago by NotHereToPlayGames
