Re: net book (small) install advice

Give Crunchbang a try. I had it on my Samsung N130 for a while and
it's pretty nice. A full install of the XFCE version (there are 32 and
64 bit versions for both Openbox and XFCE) only takes up about 2.3 GB,
leaving you with a basic Debian install for your procmail, mysql, etc.
along with an optimized XFCE desktop. Occasionally use Knoppix too,
running off a 2 GB USB flash drive, and that works quite well too. The
current version uses LXDE and it's kind of neat to see Compiz
eye-candy on that little 10.1" screen.
