Hi ya!

In the old days you used to install linux then add X-windows and set up
config files and pray as you hit startx.  Anyway I was wondering if I
can get an old celeron eee pc 701 to perform a little more smoothly if
I replaced XP with a console only install of a Linux OS.

I am a bit out of touch with the Linux world.  I wonder if it's easy to
install Debian or similar without a GUI for the purposes of running
Slimserver, and some SAMBA shares?

Also I have tried live distros on flash drives is it possible to
install a regular distro on a 2.5 inch external hard disk?

Thanks,
Fairy
