I have two old laptops that I am thinking about converting to simple linux boxes.
I really like the Asus eee PC idea of running everything as web apps.
The machines would only be used for:
- surfing
- email
- contacts
- occasional letter writing/printing (epson stylus dx5050)
Of course I could run Win98se/ME or something like that but I would love for the GUI to be a little "nicer looking" while at the same time being maybe faster than Windows? (I don't think the above three tasks are very intensive.)
xubuntu and gOS have caught my eye but I am afraid that they are too advanced and thus too slow too.
Which one of the two would be better?
What would you do?
Recently saw ubuntu Mobile and love the GUI.
But based on my googling it is only available for Atom (and some other MID only CPU)?
Any ideas how to get his on an old PIII w. 750Mhz/512 MB RAM?
