Hi! You have already jumped on the netbook fashion? Currently own a PC MEDION, a MacBook and a Nokia E71, but my inner-geek craves even a cool little netbook Linux. Sub-notebooks are good business: it is, like Linus Torvalds said in a recent interview, “laptops are done right.” You can carry them around, is light, small and cheap, so no need to worry so much if you lose or break them. At the same time, you can do some serious work with you mini-laptops, also your laptop battery.
Linux is for now, alongside the Mac OS X (notice, however, the installation of the latter is supposedly illegal), one of the best operating system choice for a netbook. Windows 7 has a smaller memory print compared to Vista, but many sub-notebooks are still too weak to run anything more from Microsoft than XP, which will probably have to settle for if you’re thinking about installing Linux,excepting you guys get extral batteries compatiable with your laptops such as A1080,XPS M1210,Inspiron 1721,etc.
Some of the benefits of Linux runs on a sub-notebook is a smaller memory footprint, better security and tons of free applications right out of the box. If you decide to install it yourself, you may encounter some compatibility problems here and there, so it is wiser to buy one of the most widely sold netbooks, such as the Asus Eee PC 901 or Acer Aspire one battery.
Although with a little tweaking, you should have a better chance at Linux installation from Windows. So here are some Linux distributions I recommend that you try, because it is modified to work well on small screens and small stock.
