Wednesday evenings it is open to the public.
Yesterday, I collected a computer from someone the local Freecycle group. It had no power supply or hard drive, but otherwise is OK. I rigged it up with an old spare power supply and it booted from a DVD. Torios is fantastic - but why doesn't the first screen tell you that you'll almost certainly have to use the nomodeset parameter with any older gear? This computer is an old Sony - Pentium 4 a700 MHz and 256 Mb. But I have had to use nomodeset on a far newer and faster box that I've been running 14.04 on ....
I'd have thought that on something like Torios, this would have been a 'must have' with an extra option to boot with nomodeset and a little notice about why ...
But yes - Torios is really good. Strange that the Torios terminal doesn't recognise lshw though. Any idea why this might be?
