If you have the time, check out Jolicloud. It's a network centric netbook oriented Ubuntu spinoff. It seems to work fine on my EEE PC 700SD with 500MB RAM.

Santa Claus left an Acer netbook under our Christmas tree (Intel atom N450, 1GB RAM, 160GB HD). My wife wants to keep Windows 7 available so I plan to set up a dual boot with a Linux distro. But which one? My first instinct is to go with Debian, which is what I have on my desktop and I really like. But many people, in CLUG and elsewhere, seem to favour ubuntu, especially for laptops. Any suggestions? Robin
