I ran Lubuntu on a Dell netbook. Worked fine. I have Elementary OS on it now. Works better. It actually runs Youtube without stuttering on both. The original Windows 7 Starter addition never worked out of the box. 1 gig.

Lubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet)

elementary os

UNetbootin from Sourceforge.

I have Elementary OS on it now.

Thanks for that - I was considering Elementary, tho all of my media boxen are going Linux, as well as my DMZ'd server, and I had hoped to normalize around Mint... I am currently gonna try full blown Mint/Cinnamon on that Asus EEE PC, just to see... But I just might be going Ubuntu/Unity on the Media boxen anyway (maybe better presented for use on the TVs), so at that point, I won't have normalization anyway.

One way or anther, I'll give Elementary a go. : )

thx again.
