[Cialug] Linux on a netbook

[Jeff Chapin]

Sorry about the cross posting, for those of you on the Cedar Lug mailing
list.

All,

I have a Dell Mini 10v that I upgraded to 2GB of RAM a while back, and may
be upgrading to an SSD in the near future, replacing the 60GB drive I
currently have. I also replaced the Broadcom wireless card with an Intel
one (when I did it, Intel was far better supported in Linux. I see now that
the old chipset has some support...)

I multi-booted this device in the past, playing around:
1) The Ubuntu that came on it from Dell
2) Fedora KDE 14 (with the fedora-netbook kernel)
3) Moblin
4) Chromium

These are all older versions, and I have been playing around with newer
versions on USB sticks.  Anyone have any recommendations on distros to try,
or tweaks to make to make any given distro preform better on a netbook?

Let the flame war commence!
