Some Other Linux Distros for Netbooks [April 2013]

Following my post on netbook suitable Linux distributions, I was given several recommendations...
These are a few of the follow up tests I did on distro's I had never used before.

Each was installed and tested using the following hardware:

• ASUS 1000HE Netbook
• 2GB RAM
• 32GB SSD

So before I begin, this post will feel somewhat more critical than the last. This is NOT because I am responding to reader suggestions. Please be assured that I am being critical of the flaws I feel are important. It is possible that you might love every second of use you got from these operating systems. I am not attacking anyone's opinions personally, and I hope you all have long happy lives. If after that warning you still  feel the need to angry comment, then I hope you die under a bridge, troll!!! ;)

ChromeOS on Raspberry Pi

Get ready to be inundated with Raspberry Pi build articles!
As the production and shipping ramp up, more and more developers are getting their hands on the little $35 ARM powered miracle.

Little more than a proof of concept at the moment, ChromeOS is being ported to the Raspberry Pi by Hexxeh. This is a very cool step forward! I would love to see a really solid little homebrew chrome box built from the Ras-Pi. Currently, chrome does little more than boot, but we hope to see the lightweight OS running fully on the Ras-Pi very soon!
