I have my new netbook. I took off the pre installed Linplus because it was too basic and found myself in the terminal all the time just do the most basic of tasks. I then replaced with Ubunto but it was using 450mb RAM just boot. I replaced this with Xubuntu but still not much better.
Any other suggestions on a good Linux? I need a browser which supports flash. The main issue is that the hard drive is an 8GB SSD unit so I would like to get a cheap memory card and perhaps store the swap file on that.
I will upgrade the RAM at some point when I get hold off some 4200 stuff (my spare 6400 is not comptable) BUT it involves completly removing the motherboard so its not something I want to do on a brand new netbook because of the warranty.
So for now how can I make the best out of 512MB RAM and the slow write properites of SSD?
I am going to try installing Kuki linux with is an Alpha stages to see if that helps (its been designed for my netbook, the Acer one).
If I don't get any tips I will at least share my findings on this thread as it may be usefulf or other people but just wondered if anybody had any experience of different distros on a low powered SSD netbook.
