Jason, You can try Linpus at first, see how it fits your needs, and then after that try another distros with it. Reinstalling it with another distro will give you more experience as to initial configs, installing programs, etc etc. I suggest you start with Ubuntu, as it's easier, and then if you're in for some challenge, go with Slackware :p
I've never used or heard of this Linpus distro, but the Xandros that comes with the Eee pc is crap, IMO. -Dante On Fri, Jan 16, 2009 at 1:36 PM, Jason Cotton <[email protected]> wrote: > I know this is an obtuse question.
