I went for C6 on a Samsung NC10 (1.6GHz Atom N270 1GB RAM), only because it refused to boot off the C7 ISO for some reason, and I didn't want to

I've got a netbook, circe 2009. When I got it, not that I was wild about ubuntu, but there was specifically an ubuntu netbook remix. Well, it's a few years later - has anyone put CentOS (6, preferably) on a netbook, and were there any problems? mark

Hi! I'm not a programmer, so I will try and be as clear as I can. I currently have an Acer Aspire One which has issues with syslinux 4.06 When I try and make a usb bootable install key using common automated programs under windows (Universal USB installer from Pendrivelinux, LiLi and unetbootin), they all fail when booted on the netbook. Now, I know it's an issue with syslinux for many

Dear R People: Is it possible to run R on a netbook/mini, please? Thanks, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences University of Houston - Downtown mailto: erinm.hodgess at gmail.com

hi I have installed ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix on my acer aspire one and after that I had some problems in installing wine. and now every time i wanted to edit source code or repositories it tells: "E: Type 'b-src' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-wine-ppa-maverick.list E: The list of sources could not be read. Go to the repository dialog to correct

I'm looking to replace my (old, creaky) netbook (Acer Aspire One D255e, a screaming dual core 1.6 GHz Atom, and a whole 2 gigs of RAM) with something faster but not too large. Sometimes (usually) the netbook is painfully slow. Something like a hi-res 14 (or 15) inch screen (full HD), minimum of 4 gigs RAM, HD of a half terabyte or bigger. I'd like to not have to go over 600-700 dollars,

Hi all! I'm running an up to date Centos-7 on my Acer Aspire One netbook. have been for, well, ever since C7 was released. Just had an event today that also happened 2 or 3 times with earlier systems installed, but I never pursued it. What happens is that suddenly while working away on the desktop the display suddenly goes black... not black as in turned off, I can see that the backlight is

This question is vaguely related to R in that I have managed to wedge the netbook computer that I use for demonstrations of R and I would like to know how to un-wedge it so I can continue to give lectures about R. I have an ASUS eee PC running the netbook-remix version of Ubuntu 9.10. The X server in 9.10 is a little different from earlier versions in that it does not require an explicit

I have an ASUS EeePC 701 (with 2GB of RAM and an 8 GB card), on which I've installed CentOS on the hard-drive-plus-card. But it can't even use my eth0. Some one on a local LUG, where I had mentioned that other OSs did fine with all the same exact hardware, suggested that CentOS, being designed for stability rather than the bleeding edge, likely lacks drivers; so I need to get

Hi, folks, So, I want to rebuild my "ancient" HP netbook, from the ancient ubuntu netbook remix. Is there an *ARM* .iso, or net install somewhere? I'm not finding it, googling. Lots of Raspberry Pi, but.... mark

What can happen in this case? It has an Intel Atom processor (N270 in this case) and it's running a compatible OS to use Wine. But does this actually mean that it will run like on any other Intel computer? Thanks

Hi all! I've just installed C7 on my netbook that already contained Win7 (and also Fedora 19, which the C7 is intended to replace). The Fedora installer had found the windows installation and it appeared in the grub menu, and was bootable and worked fine. The C7 installer did not put the windows installation into the grub menu. with some googling I found a page at
