POLL: LINUX

[the_wanlorn]

What linux distro should I put on my Toshiba?

I want something fast and lightweight. Preferably something where I can get rid of whatever desktop environment comes with it and throw Xfce on there. If there's a desktop environment you like better, I'm open for suggestions there, too.

I'm not sure what I'm going to use this laptop for, as it's heavy, the trackpad doesn't work so I have to cart around a mouse too. Probably photo editing, as it's the only computer I have with an card reader.

GO GO GADGET FLIST!

I KEEP LOOKING AT THAT AND GOING *__________*, I WILL NOT LIE.

I installed it as a virtual environment on a Mac laptop a couple of years ago, I think? It's small, and I could still connect to my wifi and other things. Also you can put the whole OS on a flash drive.



…I should do that with my old Shuffle :0

I'm like tiny! And cute! And wouldn't take up much room! And runs really fast!

But what can you run on it? It's not like it's based off of any of the big distros.

I wish I could remember :(

It had all your basic tools and a web browser, but probably not much beyond that. :|

See now, it would be perfect for my web browsing computer, especially since its specs aren't that great and it gets slow as hell all the time.
