Cool. Will try that out...wait, is chromeOS available for download? I

Thanks,

Hi Tony, hardware specs of the "old netbook"?
Usually netbooks are heavily underpowered and I would definitely NOT
run a latest *nix distro on them as it would be a very poor experience
(even if everything DID work as expected). If it is what I think it is
(1GB RAM, Intel Atom etc style netbook) I would look into hacking
something like ChromeOS onto it instead as it is essentially only a
browser so it *should* be able to run that OK.
