It's not a bad little unit, a bit slow starting Win XP, but will probably be better with a suitable linux. I'm still thinking about a distro, and have recently installed Mint 13 and Manjaro in Virtualbox on my main system, to get a feel.
I've read good reports about Arch Linux, but I haven't tried it.
If you're concerned about performance, choose a distribution that lets you install a minimal operating system and then add packages to it. For example, Debian can be installed this way.
Yes, that would be a good approach. I have been looking at Mint and Mint-Debian, but really haven't spent enough time with any of them thus far. Cheers, -- Regards, Terry Duell
