    He's recommending crunchbang linux - it's another Xubuntu clone. I use the netbook version of it on my Acer - it is excellent.

    Did I say Acer? I meant Asus. I've the 4G model of the Asus Eee.

    I don't think netbooks are more popular with Linux users than with Windows users - they're just popular overall. The fact that a lot of them come with some distro preinstalled helps of course.

    The Asus distro is pants tho - total pants. I wiped it pretty smartish and put on Ubuntu-eee which was better but slow. Then I discovered #! and it is excellent. Minimal desktop, much faster and has all media codecs preinstalled (not that it's hard to install them anyway).

    By any chance do you know the website for dell laptops, the one where they sell laptops really cheap because of scratchs etc etc? I had it months ago but forgot what the link was called:(, Would be kinda cool if you by any chance happen to know it:D

    Thanks

    /bumped for results.

    No surprises IMO.

    I recently stuck Arch on a VM and am very impressed but I had voted for Slack.

    Although I use Ubuntu I picked Debian because it made so many other great derivative distros possible.
