Essentially I just want something relatively simple with basic functionality...basically to provide a simple laptop for doing basic testing stuff or whatever...when I full size isnt needed. sort of what the original OS on there had I did like the one I replaced it with (eeebuntu?) but it wasn't updated. Easy way to describe it...is a kitchen computer...somethign you use to browse your Google+ over cereal in the morning.
Although....I have thought of using it as sort of a swiss army knife type device. Essentially having a variety of distro's (i.e. backtrack, redo, etc.) each doing a specific function & mounting like live CD's. But I am trying to think I would manage them....or...boot to them. I could use GRUB (maybe?), but maybe somethign more like smart boot manager? Using android would be interesting. i think it would give some of what I am looking for....but...not sure.
