My girlfriend's netbook, a Toshiba NB305, has gotten itself some horrible trojans/viri. It's solvable, but I convinced her that it might be easier to just go with linux, especially on a less-powerful computer. She tuned the geek stuff out of course but relented.
I was going to go with Ubuntu because I absolutely love the new version, but I think I might be better off with a lighter distro. I looked at the Ubuntu Netbook edition, but isn't it just ubuntu with a couple of aesthetic tweaks? Here's what I am looking at--
-Ubuntu netbook ed.
-Xubuntu
-Crunchbang
I want something that's similar to Ubuntu, in that easy to use, relatively attractive out of the box (although most are now) and it's sorta install and you're good to go. I don't want to spend a week tweaking it. Any advice?
By the way, this toshiba NB305 is a total P.O.S. Avoid.
