Hello,

I would like to install linux on usb for my netbook (Atom N450) currently running windows 7. Which distro, U++ compatible, do you suggest?

Thanks,
Luigi

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
