Gaming What linux distro to use on netbook

[Sephi]

I've got an Eee 901 and I have so far tried easy peasy, gOS and jolicloud, looking to try some others.

Only thing I'm looking for in particular is properly functioning wifi and smooth web browsing. Sexy ui optional.

Try Ubuntu or Mint

Ubuntu Netbook Remix? I remember using it. It was pretty nice.

 

[Salamantis]

I use Arch

Also, nice avatar you got there, I love the artist

Yeah, Ubuntu is nice. Fedora is also nice, but I'm not sure if they have a netbook version.

I suppose I shall attempt to install arch first and see how well that goes. Though my lack of linux knowledge may cause me trouble.

The Arch wiki is an amazing resource for people new to Arch.

I've had very good luck with Ubuntu. Even Pandora is going to be using it.

Think about trying out OSX.

That also works, I have Arch Linux, Windows 7 and OS X Snow Leopard on 1 hard drive on my eeePC 1000HE

5 hours later, I give up. arch linux is not my thing. I think I'll just be a lazy bastard and use easy peasy again.
