Mini Netbook 7"

#1 Post by exProphecy »

Hey mates! I've been roaming around the internet and I ran across this Chinese full retail plus shipping online store. I found some netbooks around $99 bucks! Has anyone had any hands-on or friend experience with these? I was thinking of putting Puppy onto it and testing it out. What's an Anky 7802 processor?

I have no experience with the subject net book. But, the processor (Anyka AK7802) did peak my interest. I checked the web and did find it is a copy of the ARM926EJ. I do not know if any Puppy versions work on it.

No puppy for ARM -at least yet, but they have a model for $119 with a VIA processor which puppy should run on:

No, the VT8500 is an ARM processor.

WHOOPS okay I saw the distros on the Wiki page. I'll try putting ChromeOS on it :lol:

Does this ChromiumOS by Hexxeh work on ARM? It should right?
