I am looking to pay someone to install Linux on my Inspiron 2650 if
someone would like to take that on. It
currently has XP Pro on it and I'm open to suggestions as to whether XP
should stay with dual boot or should be wiped and made fully Linux.
<br>
<br>
As well as installing a linux distro, I want to also install
the following:- <br>
<br>
Firefox , Thunderbird and a calendar add on
<br>
Anti Spam and Virus package
<br>
Star Office which I just bought with 5 licences
<br>
WinVNC for access to the Laptop from elsewhere
<br>
UltraVNC to let users give me access to their PCs
<br>
I also need to use Internet Explorer because my bank
requires ActiveX and Firefox doesn’t work so I probably also need Wine
installing
<br>
T-Mobile Dongle
<br>
I currently use LogMeIn as well but I'm not sure if this will run
on Linux. Once again, may run under Wine<br>
<br>
Contact me off list at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:peter.hawkins@poppleton.org">peter.hawkins@poppleton.org</a> with details of
price and timescale if you're interested.
