What kind of netbook do you have?   They tend towards odd hardware, and not all distros work well on each netbook.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 8:39 PM, Trent Shipley <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:tshipley@deru.com">tshipley@deru.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

<br>
promiscuously attach it to public networks.  I figure I can avoid a lot<br>
of heartache by changing the OS to Linux.<br>
<br>

I already have Kubuntu on my favorite desktop.  I like it, except that<br>
after every major upgrade it gets flaky for a while.<br>
<br>
<br>
1) I&#39;d like to use anything except *ubuntu on the netbook.  What are<br>
some promising options?<br>
<br>
<br>
2) I assume I use a bootable memory stick to start getting the distro, yes?<br>
