Windows XP is loaded, but I've been seeking out the best flavor of Ubuntu Linux for my netbook. So far, Computron has hosted: Jolicloud, Ubuntu, Ubuntu Netbook Remix, Xubuntu, and Lubuntu. While I've had good experiences with all, I'm still trying to find a lightweight-yet-still-attractive version of linux. Lightweight because I'm using a netbook and attractive because I like something pretty to look at.
I almost lost hope that I'd find that perfect linux combo, but thankfully I came across Bodhi Linux. The minimum system requirements to run are 300 mhz i386 processor, 128 mb of Ram, and 1.5 of hard drive space. As for looks, well just check out their Desktop of the Week.
Maybe I'm just in that new OS newlywed stage and overlooking some faults, but it takes about 32 seconds from when I push the power button on Computron to logging in. Windows takes about 3 minutes. The OS runs fast and because it is still based on Ubuntu, it is easy to use; a combination not always easy to find.
