The reql question is what the o/p wants the system *for*. As I mentioned,
I have my '09 HP Netbook (1101?), and I just loaded CentOS 6 i386 on it,
and it runs acceptably. Now, once I switch the WM from *bleah* Gnome to
KDE, or maybe something lighter, I'll be fine... but I only use it while
traveling, for mail and browsing.
What *are* you going to be doing with it?
