LINUX can be run on various processors and has recently found its way into the mobile platform. Linux dose not necessarily need to be installed it can be configured to boot from ROM or can be embedded direct onto a device.

Linux is not generally available to download singularly it is generally distributed as a package.

There is no easy solution to determining which application suits you the best but hear are a few of the most popular variations for you to explore.

You may find this tutorial useful which explains how to write ISO image files to CD

How to write ISO files

And if you dont have a program to write DVD ISO files to disk you can download a free program from "The FREE Coumpany"

Once you have Linux installed you will need a web server.
If your Linux package did not already come with one installed then Apache is your best choice.

The following pictures are of an actual home computer that failed during use.

The owner reported a loud bang from the computer followed by a loss in the home electrical supply.

On removing the cover a very obvious build up of dust had occurred.

Look closely the grey areas are deposits of dust.

The power supply unit was removed and the cover taken off to reveal a more serious build up of dust.

The dust may look harmless but let’s take a closer look.

Notice in this close up the dust has almost totally encased the wires, more seriously and why this PC failed is the very thick dust on the PSU PCB.

Note the burned PCB near the yellow cable, circled.

So why did this computer blow up?

The dust which is basically a mixture of things I would rather not mention becomes stuck to the PCB because the dust is electrically charged and attracted to the charge that exists in the circuit, eventually it builds up so thick it becomes sticky and eventually it will start to possess electronic characteristics such as capacitance and resistance once this happens the small amount of current that passes through the dust can upset the balance of the circuit and cause a fault.

Let’s take another look at how dust can kill your computer.

This is the cooling fan that sits on top of the processor taken from the same PC.

Take a closer look at the lower image on the right and note how the dust has actually built up on the blades of the fan and around the perimeter.

This has several effects, the first is extra weight and friction causing the fan to slow down and could slow to such a point your processor overheats and fails the other is the dust being uneven will cause the fan to wobble slightly causing an imbalance which will not only make it more noisy but will also introduce stress to the fan motor and bearings resulting in premature failure.

Also although you can not see from this picture but the vanes on the Heat Zink were also very blocked with dust, this restricts the air flow and again can result in your computers temperature to rise.

If the fan don’t fail first the processor can overheat and be damaged.
