I will give pclinux a go next time, I think.
Well, by lack of answers it would seem Android may just be a toy.
Given nobody is putting their hand up to say 'yeah, its a good work
tool'.
Will run a phone though.. No debate about that.

I have been using Ubuntu 10.10 for work - just fine. At home I tried Ubuntu 11

Curious... My two year old hardware is just fine
maybe 2 years is really 5 or 6..
Actually, I just jumped over to learn Puppy Linux. Pretty hardcore
but everything is quite good. Ubuntu has nice graphical effects but
I have work to do and willing to lose them in an effort to get some
stuff done..
still curious about Android..

Did you try XFCE or something a little more light weight on the GUI front?
Or even disable all the default fancy stuff.
I am still running 10 and gnome 2.3 and don't have any issues on a laptop
at least 4 years old, looking to upgrade this weekend to 11.something and
XFCE.
