Technology

[NorthernRaider]

There is no denying that modern technology is a vital communications and information system for preppers, and many of us embrace large parts of the technological revolution, Two way radios, GPS, Digital phones and ............. COMPUTERS.

Recently Light Speed has been raving about a tiny radio thingy that cost 3 quid its absolutely basic and I understood about 1% of what he was saying. but it did get me thinking about the ubiquitous computers most of use daily to access the interweb, check international news, buy stuff , chat with other preppers.

But equally nearly all of us are more than aware on the unreliability of normal windows / Ubuntu / fire fox etc PCS, viruses, scams, operating system faults, freezing, clashing programs. All of which are a vulnerability to our preps and a frequent source of grumbles from us.

So I thought could any of the communities young techno geeks recommend or suggest a SIMPLE and ULTRA BASIC, RELIABLE , tough and simple to use stripped down bare bones PC with a basic operating system that cannot be buggered up by malware. A self contained device than can surf the web, send E mails, store files type device that is the sort of basic tool you would want to set up in a remote African village that is rugged but simple enough for them or US in a post SHTF UK?
