I wonder how is the new version of Ubuntu or Linux mint working for you?

I'll inevitably work with Sun's Virtual Box because I can't probably play with every distro as they come out too quickly, but for now, the live USB works great for me. If it weren't for my netbook, which lacked the CD optical drive, I might not have picked up on the bootable USB craze.

OS X would probably BLAZE just a bit slower. Such a shame apple cut support for the Atom CPU.

If it contains a 1.8" HDD from an ipod (they use a ZIF connecter), then you'll have to waste your money on buying one for it's hard disk OR you could get it direct from Toshiba for around $80-120.

No matter how old, used or new hardware you have, it CAN and WILL be able to be upgraded to the max or beyond what the manufacturer's said "limits" is.
This netbook will be getting 4GB RAM and a 160GB Toshiba 1.8" HDD very soon once the funds are saved up. Hmm, I wonder if the CPU is upgradable? Is there a space on the MB to add a VGA port besides this crummy limited WSVGA LCD panel? I think so!! :D
