Excellent. I am live booting SLAX right now, but am definitely going to give antiX a try.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/8/6 <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:auditodd@comcast.net">auditodd@comcast.net</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">There is a derivative of MEPIS called antiX that is made to run on old/minimal hardware.<br>
<br>
I actually just booted up the LiveCD last night on an old HP desktop with a 1GHz processor and 512MB of RAM it it was pretty responsive even in 'live cd' mode. I haven't tried installing it yet, but I believe it is worth a look if you are opposed to 'bloat'.<br>

Another vote for Ubuntu on the netbook, I used Ubuntu NBR (NetBook Remix) on my EEE1000HE and it worked perfectly right out of the box.<br>

Funny you shoudl say that (: I think Slackware was the /first/<br>
distribution I actually used. I mean, before that they weren't really<br>
"distributions". I do remember getting the Yggdrassil Linux CD though.<br>
<br>
Once I switched AWAY form Slack, I never went back (: But, I switched to<br>
Red Hat, and once I switched away from THAT I never went back. Debian<br>
lasted a long time, and when I switched to Ubuntu I actually DID go back<br>
to debian. But I've recently got Ubuntu going again and I like it a lot.<br>
<br>
So my vote's for Ubuntu, especially on a netbook!<br>
