Yeah those netbooks are a bit of a challenge to upgrade
I have tried it, but they are also a bit picky, i tried 3 RAM modules
the i have laying around, only one got exepted and that one slowed the
performance down.
Lucky that most screws are the same type...Only need to remember where
the longer ones go.
Also a shame that the SSD's are fitted with those flex stips, very hard
to find those on the cheap. (more expensive then the value of the whole
machine) But those mini USB sticks might eventually be usable??
would be cool if there is a hack to fit something else on that
flexcable, Or maybe do a net-boot thinclient terminal thing? But that's
for someone else to play with...
But Lubuntu runs quiet nice on 512 MB if you don't let it multistask.
This will make a nice toy wit a bunch of simple games, Mayong, Tetris,
Mines, etc.
Great as Lubuntu marketing tool. Just install a few things and place it
somewhere where people have a coffee break.
They all will say: WOW, this is WAY more user friendly then W10!!
:-D So guys, thanks for making this possible!
don't let those netbooks collect dust, bring Lubuntu to the people, You
might want to put it on a chain, Lubuntu on a netbook looks and feels
like something brand new and expensive. Not everyone may be able to let
it live in the wild.
PS to fix a Acer battery that refuses to charge, bend the battery
charger pins a tiny bit. (less then a millimeter is enough) I may just
give enough emergency power in case of a power outage. You then have a
terminal with UPS, on the very cheap and with a very powerful OS.

Wow, that _is_ small!
When I put Ubuntu Netbook Edition on a very resource-constrained Acer
Aspire 1, I added an old, used 1GB DIMM -- that cost £5 -- and I later
fitted an SD card in its permanent slot and put /home on there. This
gave it /considerably/ more room to breathe for very little cost. The
only problem is that removing the motherboard to fit the SO-DIMM is
extremely fiddly and took 45min of work.
