It works fine, can be a little slow for some things, but it is certainly quite usable. My wife currently using it for her daily driver (which is why I haven't updated it). She mostly uses OpenOffice and web/email. My only real problem with this particular netbook was the 512MB RAM module is soldered on the mobo, thus you can only upgrade to 1.5GB RAM and not 2.0GB. At any rate it has been chugging along happily with a regular distro, I think I pared it down a little bit, but noticed it worked fine even with GNOME (after upgrading the RAM though). _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
