Hi,
I run a small preschool and we currently have 2 laptops (Thinkpad t43, Compaq nx6320) and 2 small desktops (Shuttle atom 1.6ghz 32bit can't find the model number. They have 2 com ports on the front)
They are acting as thin clients via LTSP from an Edubuntu server in the office.
I would really like to get Remix OS working on them so that the children can use the plethora of educational Android apps on the market as opposed to online flash games and Gcompris. I can then also use a different operating system in the office.
I tried making a bootable USB using the 32bit ISO but it just says "missing operating system" when I try to boot. I even tried using Unetbootin just for laughs but no joy.
Do you think it will be possible to install it? If so, how?
Do you think it would work better to remove all the hard drives and install the OS on them from my main PC?
Any help would be received gratefully.

I tried to install Remix OS 32 Bit to a Thinkpad T40, Thinkpad T42, Thinkpad T43, Thinkpad R51 and Thinkpad T400.
The only notebook where I was successful was the T400 - and the T400 works with the 64 Bit version, too.
I suspect that Remix OS 32 Bit has problems with graphic cards of computers which are more than 10 years old.

I've found that if I add NOMODESET at boot they pretty much all work but really choppy and slow. Is this a good sign? Does it mean that it just needs display driver tweaking or is it a huge job?

The ViewPad 10 has dual boot os' & I was wondering if anyone has managed or if it could be done on our G-Tabs? If so could you kindly share how to go about about doing this.
No it cant be done
Fair enough, but can I ask why? I had a cheapie Zenithink ZT-180v2 who's specs are crap & I was able to load WinCe with no problems.
because win7 is not designed to run on arm processors just x86 the viewpad is a intel adam processor and android has been ported to run on it.
Wait for windows 8 to ask this question... or do what i do... remote desktop with an RDP app :]. Better battery life than any windows 7 tablet to boot.

That would be Atom processor, not adam.
On the other hand Win Phone 7 might work on G-tab..... Anyone thought about that?

Yeah I've been trying to get Splashtop Remote to work away from my local network for days now but haven't had luck setting up the router to recognize the G-Tab & vice versa when I'm away from home. If I'm locally connected to my wifi, no prob but then what's the point of using a remote app if I'm at home. Other apps I can get to work, but they are slow compared to Splashtop.
Would it be possible to put windows 7 or xp onto the Gtablet, or Mac 9.x or later for that matter? I don't know the amount of space needed for those operating systems but I do know that it would take more memory than the gtab has to offer.

No for a number of reasons.
Definitely no for Win7 or XP...code is not ARM compatible & probably the same for MAC OSX. Apple also codes for specific hardware, thats way their OS is less suseptible to breaking from adding lots of differnt hardware.
Code is also so big that it would undoubtedly not fix.
And finally the Tegra simply isn't up to running bloated Windows & Mac programs that would suck the life out of your battery. Both cores of the Tegra would be runnning maxed out all the time if was code compatible.
May be possible with Win8 & quad core & greater Tegra's in the future though since MS is working to make Win8 Arm compatible.
This may sound like a weird question, but I am just curious to know if it is possible to install windows 7, or xp on Galaxy tab 10.1. As my limited knowledge about computers tells me, GT is essentially a computer with a cpu and ram and a kind of hard drive, so theoretically at least, it seems to me that it should be possible to install windows on the tablet.

Welcome to the forums. The answer is no. Windows won't run on the chip that's in the tablet (it's called ARM architecture; same reason windows won't run on a cellphone). I've heard rumors that windows 8 may be possible at some point.
I have Windows 7 on my Tab 10 so yes you can use Windows 7.

You have the install disc sitting on your Tab?
Seriously, though. That sounds like horse**** from the same guy who claims to have played with Kal-el devices. Let's see a video.
How's this?

Excuse the fumbling. It's hard to work the screen looking at the phone screen. And I should mention that we only have an 802.11g connection here at work.
Thank you Jay Evans for proving them wrong.
Well, holy hell! That means I have OS X Lion running on my Tab.
Thank you for the replies. Although I understand that some of us here might be in a rather humorous mood, but just to clarify: my question was not about remote desktops. I still think there has to be a way to have windows running on GT. Another question in this regard is about virtual machines. Is there any kind of VM available for honeycomb tablets?
While it might be possible you wouldn't enjoy the results. Especialy if you want to run actual programs on it. It would be as slow as molassas and suck the battery dry in no time.
Better to buy a Win 7 tablet and wait for something like Bluestacks to run Android or wait for the ARM version of Win 8.
It won't happen, Windows is based off x86 architecture and Android Tablets and phones are based off of ARM architecture, Windows 8 will have support for ARM though, so wait a year
While the answer to your question is still 'no', it is possible to run Windows 95 or 98 using emulators. There is a QEMU port for Android ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6661598 ) that does it, and I've also heard that you can install windows using AnDosBox.
Hey, I am looking for a Chromebook, I've read a lot of reviews and they all recommend Toshiba Chromebook 2.
But is it good for installing Ubuntu or doing some tweaking to make it better?
I have a Chromebox. I have installed Linux on it and tried it out. I would say that feature is overblown. It is much easier to dual boot or multi boot Linux on an old PC desktop or laptop. I prefer to use my Chromebox to just run the Chrome OS on and to run Linux from my other PC hardware. I am running several Linux distros on old PC hardware and its much easier and more flexible on the PC hardware than on the Chromebox.
If the Chromebook or Chromebox is the only hardware you have, then you can run Linux from it. But it's not the ideal solution if you have other PC hardware available to run Linux on.
I prefer to use the Chromebox for general web surfing and Chromecasting. I also use the Chromebox in business along with Google Sheets and Google Docs.
Ubuntu runs very well on the Toshiba 2

Hello.
I'm trying to install Remix OS on tablet "Lenovo ThinkPad 10" (1gen). Processor Z3795 with Intel 7th Gen graphics. I installed x86 and x64 versions, but there is no touch screen support.
Is there any way to do something about it?
I can't help you with that, but good to know someone's trying!!!
I'm also trying to get a reliable Android OS to run on my Thinkpad 10. I've so far discarded all emulators, and also not in favour of virtual because of low power of our tablets. I've so far only tried Android-x86's ROM and though that's a lovely piece of software, running beautifully with touch and keyboard and pen and all, I can't get it to produce sound nor use bluetooth.
Still looking...
