<div dir="ltr">Why wait? Mine is a quad core with 2GB ram and 11 GB of usable space. with a couple APK's you can get Debian arch or Ubuntu installed in a chroot environment, and they even built an Xserver apk to connect to it for a gui if you need it. once you have the main environment a Lamp is very easy to do.all of this is available in the f-droid or Google application "stores"<div>

<br>These net top computers are cool. I still like the netbooks or cheap notebooks though because you get a monitor, mouse, and keyboard with them. That makes them perfect for a simple LAMP server in a dev environment. Or add an external monitor, keyboard, and a mouse and you have two screens you can use. Not as nice as two large flat panel monitors, however not as much expense either. <br>
<br>Once in a while I make the joke that if smart phones become more powerful, I might just use a couple of them for my LAMP dev. <br><br><br>------------------------<br>
