There is a derivative of MEPIS called antiX that is made to run on old/minimal hardware. I actually just booted up the LiveCD last night on an old HP desktop with a 1GHz processor and 512MB of RAM it it was pretty responsive even in 'live cd' mode. I haven't tried installing it yet, but I believe it is worth a look if you are opposed to 'bloat'. http://antix.mepis.org/index.php/Main_Page ---------- Todd Young ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Katerberg" <mark.katerberg at gmail.com> To: "TCLUG" <tclug-list at mn-linux.org> Sent: Thursday, August 6, 2009 2:22:53 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Still Active? I actually have the eeePC 1000HE as well. I think I will try out all the ones listed. I have tried Ubuntu (both regulation and NBR) and was a little annoyed by the bloatedness. It might just be because I've just gotten away from Vista though... 2009/8/6 J Cruit < j at packetgod.com > Another vote for Ubuntu on the netbook, I used Ubuntu NBR (NetBook Remix) on my EEE1000HE and it worked perfectly right out of the box.

Funny you shoudl say that (: I think Slackware was the /first/ distribution I actually used. I mean, before that they weren't really "distributions". I do remember getting the Yggdrassil Linux CD though. Once I switched AWAY form Slack, I never went back (: But, I switched to Red Hat, and once I switched away from THAT I never went back. Debian lasted a long time, and when I switched to Ubuntu I actually DID go back to debian. But I've recently got Ubuntu going again and I like it a lot. So my vote's for Ubuntu, especially on a netbook! -Yaron -- _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -- Mark Katerberg _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
