Hi Luigi,

U++ is probably compatible with pretty much any distro. So the only criterion might be availability of packages (so you don't have to compile theide all the time), which narrows it to Ubuntu and it's derivatives.

I personally don't like Ubuntu much and I would definitely go for some of the more lightweight clones, like Xubuntu, Lubuntu or CrunchBang. I also heard a lot of good words about LinuxMint.

I use U++ on netbook as well (older Atom N270) and I can tell that having lightweight environment makes a difference Smile

Best regards,
Honza

Hi Honza!

this message is sent from my super new lubuntu distro on 8 Gb usb connected with a netbook.
It works out of box. The navigation seems faster than windows 7.
Now I'll try u++... but so far I like it.
BTW... what do I have to download Rolling Eyes

for this distro? I would like to have Theide already in binary.

Thanks,
Luigi
