I am looking for a mini-pc compatible with Ubuntu. It is to be used as a "infoscreen" (displaying an activity list). By compatible i mean that drivers must be available, at least for graphics and wifi.
It must have the following capabilities:
Run MonoDevelop for C# compatibility*
Run LAMP (Apache, MySQL and PHP)*
Have wifi - preferably built-in.
Preferably resolution up to 1920x1080
Low price :-)
* I know this is possible with Ubuntu, but someone might suggest an Android mini-pc or some other kind, that i don't know of. As long as the above is possible, i don't care which brand or type it is.
Can anyone recommend a specific mini-pc or maybe a brand?
I've tried the Zotac Zbox Nano VD01 Plus, but that was no succes. Only old version of Ubuntu were supported and i never got the wifi driver fully working.
Thank you in advance!
I'd recommend a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian. it doesn't have wifi, but there are adapters.

I want to convert my old PC into linux system and use it for Android code development. The resource is very limited (256 MG) memory. Currently, PC is running on XP SP3. What is the available OS for this PC? Currently, I am using a Win8 PC for android development. It seems that I need to download some codes from google web site and all instructions are linux command line based. I may use this old turd as a code repository so that I can study other people codes.
Any suggestions?
I would either recommend Debian if you want a stable distribution or if you need bleeding
edge software Arch Linux.
The wiki of Arch Linux is to my opinion better than the one of Ubuntu and Arch lets you do everything as you want it.
If you need to get started fast you can also go for Xubuntu (http:// xubuntu.org) as it is made for old hardware.
All three should run on your computer. So its just a matter of what you prefer.

I used to work on Ubuntu 12.10 but then suddenly my speakers stopped working, my headphones didn't used to work before and still they are not working, i then upgraded to 13.04 in hope that it may solve my problem, but it was not the case. I have read dozens of websites and suggestion and tried them out, but none worked. As i open my sound configurations the only option available there is "Play sound through Dummy output" and i am unable to change that. Please help me out.
P.S I have my ubuntu dual booted with windows 7. And the speakers and headphones work fine on windows.
You should install alsa drivers from alsa launchpad.. be sure to install the latest version and that too of raring as you are using 13.04. After install try rebooting the laptop. This will make the sound work.

I would want to install a free Linux OS in my laptop. I am not a techie. I am looking for Linux OS which will have inbuilt features for Fn(Function) keys. Please suggest me if you know any particular Linux OS with these features.
This OS have a laptop version. Easy to use, and supports the newest hardwares:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
There are so many choices. Ubuntu is the defacto first distro, although I don't really care for it ever since they went to Unity and Gnome 3. I would rather use Mint with Cinnamon.
A good start is to look at something like Linux Watch http://distrowatch.com/ and see what distros sound good to you, then burn the live disk and check it out. If you like it you can then install it.

Know anybody, how i can install NodeJS on dd-wrt, openwrt or freewrt system?
Or Maybe on any Router with one on these systems: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_router_or_firewall_distributions
I stumbled across one fellow on Twitter who claimed to have done so back in 2011 April and offered a high-level overview of the process. My research indicates that this will only be possible on little-endian chipsets (e.g. "mipsel", as on the ASUS RT-N16) as even the MIPS version of v8 does not support big-endian implementations of that architecture (e.g. as the Atheros chipset on the Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H is using).
Sorry, couldn't find any references that indicate it's been done. I suggest checking out the dependencies for Node.
You will need at least the following:
gcc4-g++
git
make
pkg-config
zlib-devel
openssl-devel
openssl
python
Note, that is from the older Cygwin compile instructions so they might not be exactly right.
If you can find all of those for your router OS then it should be possible. Just note that it will take a LONG time to compile.
You may also struggle with memory as most routers are severely lacking. This question on Google has a bit of information.

I have a Fedora 14 desktop which I'm trying to use to connect to a client's mainframe (running z/OS). There's a popular 3270 terminal emulator for Windows, but I haven't been able to find one suitable for Linux.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
If you are looking to emulate 3270 then there is no dearth of choices.
You can use Wine and Quick3270 emulator. I have tried this and its just awesome.
Linux based:
a. x3270: http://x3270.bgp.nu/index.html - Tried it. Its decent and FREE (free as in Freedom)
b. Jagacy 3270: http://www.jagacy.com/downloads.html (Haven't tried it, but it was used by my colleagues. Its really good.)
My love - Quick3270 running over Wine.
