i don't need a netbook specific OS for my netbook (i use stock xubuntu, and pare down the list of running processes judiciously. don't need cron if you run updatedb manually on occasion, frinstance.). then again, i also bend the fabric of time and space and do crazy things like run two-three virtual machines simultaneously on it while still using the console interactively. it isn't awesome, but neither is it terrible. i did try out the netbook remix of ubuntu, but as a 20-year veteran of the X window System who has his setup pretty tweaked, their little gui immediately turned me off. can't recommend gnome or kde on the thing, though. i use xfce4 or ratpoison depending on my mood. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
