My neighbor brought over a Eee PC 701 the other day. It had been purchased for his sister-in-law but she went kind of weird and had to be moved in some sort of weird care facility. He doesn't like the operating system on it and was wondering if some variant of Linux might coexist with the little 4 GB SSD (solid state drive) and 1 GB ram.
He has seen Linux Mint 13 Mate and was hopeful. Looking around on line, I see that some of the newer distributions will not install on CPUs that do not have PAE (Physical Address Extension) and apparently some distributions are tuned to avoid wearing out the SSD. I also don't want to spend a bunch of time on this. Does anyone have a good experience / recommendation?
