Try it with OS X!

[techgooch]

@tino730 I actually did, but OS X is not made to run on such a small screen and it wasn't too friendly to the Netbook. While I am an OS X fan, and it did run just fine, there were some applications that I couldn't even see the bottom of because it didn't like the 10" screen.

@tania2020tania To run the netbook at a decent pace, I agree!

"Linux isn't as powerful as windows"

FAIL

[AlumarsX]

Not as powerful as W7?

What's that supposed to mean?



[mattehFLCL]

@gallagherm1993 im thinking he meant the netbook version of ubuntu

[crocodile200]

Installed it on my HP mini 210 with upgraded ram. Works faster than windows 7 ever did for just using the internet. Seems to have also got rid of the constant crashing with windows 7 on it. It crashed so often that it was basically useless.
