Netbook Users - What OS?

[candyflip]

I've installed and tested just about everything.

At the moment I'm running:

Mini 10v - OSX 10.6
Mini 9 - Jolicloud

Moblin is one that could turn out to be nice. Still needs some work though.

I have had two - asus eeepc 701 and a 900. I used the factory linux on the 701, and tried a few other things, but always went back to the factory.
on the 900, it came with windows, and the first thing I did was format and install easy peasy(ubuntu for netbooks). I dont really like it - to much bloat, and a lot of input lag. I use puppy for the EEE and love it. Its fast and wireless support is great. I have tried probably 15 other builds, but still have not found one better than puppy.

I'm running XP SP3 on my MSI Wind U90

Moblin boots to desktop in about 12 seconds. That was impressive.

I just got an asus 1005ha running xp. Going to put bsd or linux as a dual boot. It's my first windows machine in a decade, I'm fine with xp on it for now.

Check out Jolicloud for a nice Linux distro. It's based off of Ubuntu.

Your machine is on the compatibility list.

All the info, files and help you'll need is right there.

Here's a good link too, but installs 10.5.x - you can get 10.6 working too.

I stuck with the Xandros setup that came with my Eeepc, but I did have to hack it up a bunch.

I am a Mac user, however, I purchased a Dell Mini 10 and put Windows 7 on it so I can at least have 1 windows machine to surf my sites with. I am quite happy with and installing it of a 4GB Thumb Drive was pretty easy.
