I intend to purchase a Lenovo ThinkPad which comes pre-installed with
Windows 8.1.
Since I will be installing Ubuntu from the moment the machine is first
switch on, is there any possibility of getting a refund on the unused
Windows 8.1 license?
If yes, may I know the general procedure?
Thanks,
~Mayuresh

Does anyone out here know of any good progress been done on getting the
Firefox OS to run on a Raspberry Pi?
Googling around showed projects which are mostly half baked.

Looking to sell off my HP ChromeBook 14 (4GB RAM).
Runs that Linux based ChromeOS from Google. :)
Is less than 2 months old.
Am willing to part with it for INR.20,000/-.
Any takers?

Are Raspberry Pi B+ system specifications not capable for me to achieve
this scenario with USB Wifi Adapter ?.
I have 8 GB SD card and if needed I can mount USB drive as well.
And is it necessary to compile squid from source rather then installing by
apt-get ?
Also I searched on squid delay pools but did'nt get any exact method to
limit quota ,rest all are to limit bandwidth speed .
will try it practically once i receive my Wifi Adapter.
Also I would like to ask, Is it easily achievable to do with Capative
Portal like fruitywifi or wifidog ?
