That said, [...]

Netbook’s are funny little machines. Powerful enough to be awesome mobile devices but underpowered and not suited to support most ‘Operating Systems’ fully. Windows Vista is an excellent example of an OS coupled with Netbook’s but whose Hardware really isn’t up to the burden of trying to run it. Linux ‘Lite’ OS’s were the first [...]
