Agree. I installed Windows 7 x64 on a small AsRock NetTop (comes with dual core ATOM N330 and 2 GB RAM) It makes a very decent desktop computer, and as a server, it is far superior to a NAS with much more flexibility, very silent. I also installed a Ubuntu based Laptop with Chrome. I makes a good device to access Internet, listen music, watch videos or basic use. But you quickly loose a lot of time if you need more things which are absolutely straightforward with Windows. On a laptop with limited resources, performance is not what I expected. I was quite happy with ubuntu 9.04 But with Ubuntu 10.10, some smart guy decided that you couldn't execute any more a file located on a NTFS disk (at least without ridiculous tweaking) !!! With Ubuntu 11, some basic bash command files do not work any more ! (After the 10.10 NTFS joke, I was too lazy to understand why and revert to previous version) I don't know where those guys are going, but I am not sure it is the right direction ... -- nicolas75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nicolas75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89143 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
