On my old Asus 701, I've been running Slackware. Mind, this is mainly due to the small hard drive (it takes a little pruning to fit into 2 gigs). Mind, at some point I'd like to try Arch (it has a smaller base installation).
On your specs, it should be fine to run stock Ubuntu or Fedora. -Dafydd On Tue, Dec 28, 2010 at 7:43 AM, Richard Carter <[email protected]>wrote: > Santa Claus left an Acer netbook under our Christmas tree (Intel atom N450, > 1GB RAM, 160GB HD).
