I don't have experience with that model, but we deployed Revo's in my
organisation. The rough spec was 1.6ghz quad core, 2gb ram and an nvidia 1gb
network card running win xp sp3.
They are good machines for basic use, but fall over from heavy usage. I had to
up the pagefile to 8gb to keep it running and I still have problems with it. It
only has one vga port so you either need to purchase a usb2vga splitter or
invest in an hdmi output lead to get dual monitors. It doesn't have a cd/dvd
drive, so you have to purchase an external one.
The units boast a very low power consumption and is extremely quiet but apart
from that its nothing special.
Unless you can get it for<£200 I would save your money for a proper machine.

Hi
anyone got any experience of the a
Acer Aspire Revo R3700 Desktop
with 11.04
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/261508
i have googled and its come up with mixed reviews some saying it hangs
on shutdown and other issues right up to hardly any issues.
i will mainly use it for
web browsing (i have flash but also flash block)
e-mail
open / libreoffice
some of the games such as glest, open arena etc that comes with ubuntu
i also use software such as scratch
so nothing that is going to be too demanding, my older dell 10v can
cope with the above so with ion 2 (assuming that it is supported by
nvidia drivers) should give better performance.

OK
It seems however my monitor has died, or is dying, as its not working
properly, goes off randomly, starts off grey and a bright grey
background (sorry can't really describe it properly) either way its not
right,.
so
I may start by getting a new monitor from somewhere, i can get tfts for
under £80, and don't see compatability issues with linux, once done,
will look in to either
a) getting a new system pre built
or
b) getting someone to help me build a new system that will work with
LInux from start, saving money
