EeePc Friendly Linux

I really want to find a good Linux Distro for my EeePc 901. There was a post that I read recently that said Ubuntu Nebook Remix (UNR), EeeBuntu, Jolicloud, Peppermint OS, and Linux Mint were all good choices. (If I have time, I will throw in openSuse and Fedora.)

I want to find the distro that by default:
  • Runs Smooth
  • Boots Quickly
  • All hardware detected and working
  • Suspend quickly

I have used Ubuntu Netbook Remix the most, so I will try that last. No reason to let it bias my opinion. Reviews will come in the next week. First, I need to come up with a reasonable, but static rating system to rate everything by.

Life

Sorry I have not been posting as of late. Life seems to have taken precedence. I was able to buy house, while just after that being let go of my job. So...things have been a little busy. I am now in the final stages of getting hired and I look forward to keeping up with this blog.

Here is the scope of what I plan on writing about.
  • Android
  • Ubuntu
  • Meego
  • Linux in general
  • Any new technology that gains my interest

Hopefully I can keep up with it, and it will be an insightful and enjoyable read.
