I'm still using my old 10" with a single core 1.6GHz atom of the first generation. Processing power almost like at the start of the century (A 1GHz PIII has more punch than this thing!)

It's almost usable.

But since I think that the atom was a stupid design to start with that will hopefully only survive in some tablets (if we are lucky, it won't show up there too much as well) and is not really suited for any kind of serious work... I'm not sure if it makes sense to put work into something like this (remember, I'm in the same boat but I consider it only a real last resort and try to avoid dt on this thing). Sure, if someone is willing to put effort into this I'd be happy to have dt a bit more workable on my netbook... but I'll never blame someone if there is no such support because dt on a netbook seems like a real corner case for me. best regards Marco ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
